Well, I can say that I was extremely frustrated with Google's decision to abandon me and other early adopters of their Nexus line of products. The Nexus line was promoted as "THE ANDROID" platform that would receive the latest updates. Staying ahead of the curve is imperative for IT industry employees, and that is exactly why I (and others) bought the Nexus phone.
So Google announced that they'd no longer be providing updates for the Nexus phone (notably the most recent update called Kit Kat Android 4.4), and they also somehow snuck in a new policy of only 18 months of updates for Google phones. This is absurd.
After wrestling with poor battery life in my Nexus phone in Android 4.2 and no upgrade in sight, I finally decided to go the way of a custom ROM... an alternative Android called CyanogenMod.
CyanogenMod is free, works flawlessly, and has a beta Android 4.4 version in the works. I highly recommend it to anyone who has been frustrated with Google.
