Is 6 too many for D&D?

I'm curious, is having six players in a Dungeons and Dragons game really considered too many? I've heard mixed opinions on the matter, some saying it can be overwhelming for the Dungeon Master, while others argue that it adds to the fun and dynamic of the game. As a seasoned gamer, I'm interested in hearing your take on this. Do you believe that six players is indeed too many, or is it possible to manage with the right strategies and communication? Share your insights, please.
