Just this week I started reading it because I was bored, and curious. The writers did a great job, from what I've read so far. I love the new bloodthirsty description of Gnolls, and the new "boogeyman" comparison for the Oni (Ogre Mage). Also like the H.P. Lovecraft type references in the Aboleth. Lot's of good stuff. I think there is a ton of ideas that originated from the old "Ecology" section on Dragon Magazine.
Makes me want to make a sand-box style world where players can fight some of these baddies. But, those are days long past. I have no one to play with anymore

The 5e MM is awesome. I current DM a 5e campaign and it is really fun. You should look into finding a game in your area.
