I loved 3.5 also, but the thing that made it special also made it arduous.
You can focus on whatever you like, but it'll take you a damn long time to get there. 2 Weapon Fighting (and it's requisite feats) could take a dozen levels to reach. We're talking weeks or months of sessions before you feel useful.
I think 5e is well done and very streamlined, but I wish the skills were a little more diverse. I don't necessarily need 4 levels to become proficient with horse riding, but some of the skills are a little vague.
