Not OP, but I can say that PF2e is complicated only in comparison to something like D&D5e. Compared to D&D3.5e (which is what PF forked from) it's more streamlined.

I think streamlined vs complexity is a topic that should be discussed here. Complexity isn't a bad thing- Street Fighter is more complex than Mario 1. But that doesn't mean it's bad, obviously. PF2e vs D&D5e are similar. Both are great games depending on what sort of complexity you're looking for, and that's personal taste. For me, 5e isn't complex enough.

Right. 5e is much easier to learn to play and DM but it also has less room for interesting things to emerge dynamically from events. 5e is arguably as fun to play but it is far less fun to watch, at least in my opinion.
