I disagree with you
Let's talk about the world's greatest tabletop RPG and tabletop games in general.
I'm involved in two 5e campaigns with the same group of guys, one as a PC and one as a DM.
If you're looking to get started the official Starter Set is a really great place - it's one of the best modules ever written, period, and does a pretty good job of teaching players and DMs "how to play".
Also, 5th Edition can be a little tricky for new DMs it's great for new players because it's built to feel like what people think of when they think of D&D by simplifying mechanics and focusing more on PC agency and storytelling vs number crunching and pedantry. It's also the most flexible version of the game to date, allowing DMs to really fiddle with rules and scaling to fit the needs of the party.
Some great resources for DMs and Players:
D&D Beyond - great resource overall for official content and a free character builder and homebrew builder, all integrated and has a decent mobile app as well.
5e.tools - an unofficial compendium of all the items, creatures, spells, sourcebooks, etc. for D&D - an incredible database
roll20.net - one of the better Virtual Tabletop systems and database of D&D info
