2024 vs 2014 dnd 5e character sheets?

If I want to try a lot of macros, which sheet should I use? I just played a campaign with the 2024 sheet and it had a lot of issues. Both concerning making macros and simply using the character sheet normally. Is 2014 better in any way or do I just need to deal with the 2024 flaws?

2014, absolutely, the 2024 sheet is a nightmare to deal with when it comes to macros.

I second Tuo's comment. I've twice attempted to create a character using the 2024 sheet and deleted them in frustration, mostly because I really dislike the design, but also the problems with customizing attacks and adding macros. The D&D 5e 2014 sheet may not be fully compatible with the D&D 5e 2024 rules, so you'll probably have to manually adjust some things, but at least that sheet allows you to do that fairly easily.

I'd have to agree with the above sentiments. The emphasis on 2024 seems to be to favor automation over customization.

I used to use NPC sheets with built-in macros so that I could use all their stuff without ever having to open their sheets. Can't seem to do that with 2024. I don't even see an Attributes & Abilities page at all, which I thought was standard for all Roll20 sheets. 2014 has Global Modifiers so you can easily do things like Bless, don't see an equivalent for 2024 unless I missed it.

Feels like a swing and a miss to me.
