Well, the new engine is only really relevant to those who are actually constructing something, as they shall be interested in the engine that allows them to do that.
UE5 being beta, is only of interest to gauge its potential - no studios will release a game using a beta engine, it could open them up to any number of issues in the future.
Not worth it.
As for ‘better’…throw a rock on that question in a game studio and you’ll get any number of answers to that subjective question.
Personally - I like it, and will join the current consensus that, it is the engine we all wished UE4 could have been in 2013.
