Lollipop: What do think so far?

So Lollipop has been rolling out for a short while now. The latest handsets (and some other phones if you have a ROM) should have it. So if you are using it what do you think so far? If you have the option to update from 4.4 to 5.0 but haven't updated then why not?

My thougts are that it's a pretty fast and stable release. The UI looks much better and I don't miss the theme chooser it's missing. I just wish that it had the option to switch between light and dark themes. I'm using it on My SGS3 Mini (Thanks NovaFusion)
 
Overall I enjoy it. Took a bit to figure out the volume settings, and I do have the occasional lag or stutter that I didn't really have before, but I like it.
 
I had updated to lollipop yesterday morning last night I restored my kit kat from recovery. I did not care for it

EDIT:
Ok so Maybe I'm not being fair I mean I didn't really use it long enough to actually know if its a better performance for me or not I just am used to kit kat and liked kit kat. So I will give this another go and give it a more fair and honest review. I will however have a fresh kit kat nandroid handy but I will keep lollipop on for a week. I will update you all then.

It's... different. I installed it (in the form of CM12) on my old tablet which is going to primarily be an entertainment center for toddlers, so... not really going to be using it much.
 
So far what I experienced on both my nexi 7 tablets... I dislike it more than I like it.

My tablets have never lagged so bad in their life time. If course its not better hardware like the new nexi devices, but I feel that in order to have a good experience with lollipop you need up to date devices. That's why I probably will not be updating my Moto g, even if/when it gets the update. It's not great hardware in the phone, but currently its doing what it needs to do, and that's more than I can say for my basically bricked nexi devices.

That's funny. I definitely don't have an up to date device. And Google claimed that Lollipop will still run on low/medium spec devices
