I had intended, at some hazy point in the past, to write a series of "Skill Failure" articles griping in blistering detail about each individual skill in 5E. That is a level of tedium that I don't want to write and no one wants to read. The subject of 5E is however cropping up in my YouTube feed again and the game is well liked among my players. In light of these two factors I think a more thoughtful discussion is in order.
The results are 62.5% in, and I'd like to share them together with my conclusions. I'll revise the numbers in this post when the response increments to 100%.

I am the outlier in certain areas, so I will call myself out by name but everyone else's responses will of course remain private.
