I recently went through these stages when a player smacked me with a rule that seemed completely counter to the spirit of the game. It was a painful experience. I was glad to finally make it to Nerd Acceptance and move on... I'm just glad it came up OUTSIDE of tournament play!
In general, I've enjoyed 5th edition. The only two rules I've not particularly cared for have been True Line of Sight and 5th's wound allocation rules. TLOS got rid of forests having any particular value (since most players I know used green cloth and a few tree models for forests) and the current wound allocation rules have led to some shenanigans...
