Hey guys, I updated to 5.0 the day it was officially released for the nexus 5 about what 3 weeks-ish ago, a little more, anyway I'm starting to get sick of it...I'm seriously considering re-flashing 4.4.4 IMO..The 5.0 UI is starting to annoy me...at first it was pretty good now it just sucks. Let me know your opinions! thanks :)
 
The main reason for owning a N5 is that you can use any rom or theme it to your liking.
Install a custom Lollipop rom, there are few out there now and there will be more each day.
Yeah I know, I miss the old 4.4.4 look, it was great lol I love my N5, as well as Multirom lol. I can't wait for DU for 5.0 though..

With my Moto, I have discovered that there are not so much things that can annoy you within Android 5.0. However, it is composed of a few elements which gives a feel that they are either rushed or implemented at earlier stage.
5.0 does look childish, it looks like Google didn't take their time with developing 5.0 at all I wish it was a little better

It's what they call "material design"...basically a flat UI like what Windows Phone and iOS have pushed. A disappointment considering one of the main folks in charge was a major force in creating WebOS. You may not like it --I'm not nuts about it-- but it was well thought out and completely intentional.
I know its Material design...but its not the best OS they've released
