Why do people prefer 3.5 over 5E?

I'm curious, could you elaborate on why some individuals seem to favor the 3.5 edition of a certain role-playing game over the 5th Edition, 5E? Are there specific features or mechanics in 3.5 that appeal more to players, or is it perhaps a matter of nostalgia and familiarity? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter, as I'm always interested in understanding the preferences of the gaming community.
