  So far not finding it much different to use
  Basically most of the menus are WHITE backgrounds...not sure if i prefer this look
  Some apps aren't yet 100% optimised for it & stop responding
  Oh and the finger print scanner has been further optimised & it is certainly a lot better
  The phone is possibly a tad more responsive
  Text message layout much improved
  
  There's probably other things but i've not spotted them yet

  Same for me too (LTE-A Model on Netherlands unbranded firmware) do you know if the EE firmware is also unbranded?

  It has no custom boot screen if thats what you mean, it seems to be stock but with MYEE app preinstalled.

  Having learnt from previous experience, I always now factory reset BEFORE doing any upgrade. Think you may find that doing it after the event, does little to fix things. Personally, unless an upgrade offers significantly better features, better to stick with the shipped firmware.
  
  But good luck anyway..

  Bloatware like the preloaded Google Play services that was only 5+ MB big when you first bought your phone, now nearly 60MB after the latest updates from google play store and also including added cache and data. And it will get even bigger with more and more updates. Same with all of other preloaded apps are much bigger in size than when you bought it. And you can't just move them all over to an SD drive, and many other apps you download from Google Playstore can only be installed to your internal storage.
  
  The internal storage of your smartphone is effectively shrinking after every google play store update.

  Tried lollipop on my oneplusone, seems many backward steps in the OS.
  
  Also the software button icons are weird for it.
