S4 is so awesome for camera.. Thats place where n5 lag.

A better camera app on the N5 would help make up for some camera shortcomings. Focal is a candidate in this area. It's a decent camera, certainly capable of taking very nice pictures in certain situations, but not on par w/GS4 & other flagship Android devices. Maybe part of this is Google leaving something on the table so they don't ****-off any hardware partners.
Display and performance are areas where the N5 really shines. User experience is subjective. I've been on WP since day one w/the Focus, then my 920. Also had a 1st-get Windows 8 hybrid tablet. For me currently, Android provides the preferable user experience.
Also, my wife has a new 5s. I've spent months trying to work w/sol'ns to keep devices on all three platforms "talking" and "cloud-synced" while balancing ease-of-use. Calendar, shared docs, grocery list, DLNA sol'ns, XMPP, VPN, etc. If there's a barrier, it's usually WP that won't play nice, for various reasons. I didn't think I'd say this, but today I'd likely choose iOS over WP if limited to one. For all I dislike about that platform, it simply meets more of my mobile needs right now. I'm hopeful that won't be the case at some point in the future. I still have high hopes for WP.
OK, I digress.
As others have said, bang-for-the-buck, the N5 can't really be matched. Best Nexus phone yet.
Hopefully this was more useful input that merely saying "it sucks because others say so"
