I hear that - between houses and cars I don't have time to screw around with the phone and undo the junk the OEM or carrier added to customize it. That's why I picked the Nexus.
For what it's worth my annoyances with the current version of plain vanilla Android are that the stock music player is not very good in terms of organizing and making what you have loaded available. I also can't seem to find a decent flashlight app that won't turn itself off after a random amount of time, then get stuck with off = on. Google Now doesn't exactly do anything for me either but it's not really intrusive. And the screen failing but that's a LG hardware thing.
On the other hand I've never had an iphone or ipod touch quit on me, even after 6 years of daily use.
