Android 5 is a huge upgrade, maybe the most important Android OS upgrade ever. Major changes to the looks, functions, and the OS 'under the hood'. A simple Google search for 'Android 5' will find plenty of info about new features, etc.
Do you mean from KitKat? If so...its the biggest update since ICS...its a complete UI overhaul with ART replacing dalvik after 6 years, framework storage, SELinux and other security changes, this build following KK is going away from SD storage as the new OS takes ques from apple with primary storage being emmc(most flagship devices have variants in different storage sizes 32gb/64gb etc...) Google implementing a new email structure doing away with the old exchange method and apks...and with most google apks with a minimal API14 most ICS + users will have a more uniformed GApps experience reducing fragmentation in GApps regardless of android version...that's really all I can remember off the top of my head.

That's exceptionally odd. By "bootloop", do you mean that the boot process continually restarted? Or just that it took a long long time to boot? The first boot after an update often takes a long time - even up to and beyond 20 minutes in some cases.
If you had rooted with a custom recovery, it's very likely to fail. If you mean by "stayed in bootloop" that it hung on the the boot screen, then it might have actually succeeded and was taking it's good old time recompiling your apps for ART. I know that in 4.4.4 it takes a good 20 minutes for my 100+ apps to recompile. I would have thought it would have been improved with lollipop, but maybe that's just part of the in-place upgrade.
I'm sure the OTA will show up again, you just have to hit the notification cycle again. It showed up for me, but I'm through with OTA's as not one has really worked. I will flash the factory image for 5 on my N4 when my N6 arrives.
I also thought that the applications was being compiled, and left it to work during night, but in the morning it still was in bootloop (4 balls in 4 colors moving).
OTA - I mean to the system updates. Those updates are not available now in system updates.
Flashing the factory image (manually via fastboot, not with a toolkit) is a pretty surefire way to bring a Nexus back to life when something goes wrong. It's also a good way to make sure you start with a clean slate on a new Android version.
Short of that, you could also try doing a factory reset from the stock recovery. Either way you'll lose any data that isn't backed up in The Cloud, but you'll at least have a working phone again.
I got the OTA yesterday and was waiting until today to download it but it's gone now. I go to system updates and it doesn't come up? Any way I can get it back or do I have to wait?

If the OTA notification does return when you go to System Updates > Check Now, that probably means that you'll have to wait. It should come back around within a week or so I'd imagine.
