Roleplaying and adventuring is teamplay so other characters should have problem with ones that want to rest after 5mins of adventuring.
Easiest irl examples for 5min workday are:
You are doing a project...
You are working...
You are playing a team based sport...
...and have one person to join you who is really good at what you are doing, but she's such a primadonna or slacker that she'll only write really good A4/works for 5mins/gets score or two for your team and then...

I'm not sure the goal here is actually to eliminate the five-minute work day. Character power levels have to be balanced around something. To me, Mearls' initiative seems to be an essential response to the challenge of the FMWD, in that it can come about irregardless of the number or strength of encounters the players undertake. By considering opponents' power levels over a universal measure which affects all characters, the day, he is attempting to minimize the effect of play style on...

Find and Remove Traps is in effect reverse engineering the trap. It's a logical process and should be an int based skill.

Yeah, it really feels like they're trying to wash out all 4e influence, when that isn't always good. The healing mechanics in 4e were far superior to any previous edition, and clerics being designed as glorified healing batteries that were pretty much necessary for the party to get anywhere was always bad design. Please don't revisit this mistake.

Just got a chance to playtest and we enjoyed the experience except the cleric once again had to be locked in only choosing cure light wounds and not the other more exciting spells so that the party didn't have to spend days resting after several encounters. The self healing option should be bought back into the game in some way, i.e. able to use healing surges during a short rest.

I'm a bit disappointed about the clarification on advantage and disadvantage. I was assuming that each advantage would cancel one source of disadvantage and vice versa. So with advantage twice and disadvantage once, you'd still have advantage.
