As time goes on, it looks more and more like the 2024 revision of the game is going to be a tightening up of the engine, but without any of the more invasive changes that had been proposed - 5e Essentials rather than 5.5e (and certainly not 6e!). All of which is to the good, I think, mostly because I hadn't like the sound of any of those bigger changes.
And yet, I find myself torn on the new books.
The major reason for this is that if I am indeed running my final campaign, there's no good reason to spend the money, and I'm out of shelf space anyway.
But on the other hand, this would be the first version of the game for which I don't have the key books, and if they are indeed an improvement...
Mostly, though, I'm lamenting the fact that they'll almost certainly never be released on PDF. If that were done, I'd buy them sight-unseen. Without that, I'm inclined not to bother.
(And yes, it does need to be PDF specifically. Other electronic formats, even those that are supposedly "better", are useless to me.)
