Pathfinder 2E is in general just the absolute best that any iteration or hack of D&D has ever been. Lots of little fiddly bits for flavor options, generally pretty good balance, and fixed early levels.
I still don't particularly like it and would never run it, but it is a huge improvement over any D&D version.
I've been having a good time running a couple of 2E games
It's especially good considering that I got a bunch of absolute newbies to fall in love with it when they were nervous about it to begin with
The fact that they're still working on keeping it streamlined and easy to get into with the new reworked rules has been great too
And the fact that they finally eliminated alignment as a hardset thing is only a plus as well
No more having to try and differentiate what Lawful vs. Neutral vs. Chaotic is to people who would just look at me like I grew a second head
