Lollipop was so bad I ended up getting a Blackberry. KitKat was pretty good. I got used to the basic premise. Phone was easy to use, could easily put phone in silent mode, alerts worked the way I liked them, things were easy to find in settings... It was good, you know?
Lollipop blew all of that out of the water. Yes, it was prettier. Trying to get a usable silent mode without clicking on a dozen things was impossible. The overview list was ugly. Overall bizarre behavior really turned me off from it. Settings... Ugh. I was never again able to drill down into settings to tweak something. I always had to search for things, get the name wrong, search again, find it, and muss with it.
Yeah, I could have went with Cyanogen Mod and see what they did with it, but I gave up and check out the competition instead. Perhaps I'll come back one day, but it won't happen while Lollipop is still around.
