Things I don't like about nexus 5 and stock Android KitKat

The first 4.0+ android system I used is the stock HTC one x one. It has many restrictions but the stock softwares are good. Task is my favorite and then the alarm and weather. Then I flashed cyanogenmod ROM 10.2 on it, and i t is a much better android experience for me. You have much more freedom of choosing whatever apps you like on you phone. And the system itself is highly tuned for advanced user. And then unfortunately I dropped my phone into the water. So now I got this new nexus 5 and android KitKat. To be honest I prefer cm 10.2.
1. It's not that easy to customize your ringtone and notification. I mean cmon Google, are you trying to be apple or what.
2. No restart phone option. Seriously?
3. Hangout is a bit confusing.
4. There are so many places should be more convenient. As for cyanogenmod ROM, you can customize your notification menu which is amazing. Also volume change in android is a big pain in the ass while on the other hand such a easy thing to fix I the stock system. Once again cyanogenmod ROM did a excellent job on the volume change you can change your alarm, media, ringtone volume whenever you want. As for stock KitKat user you have to go through several menu to change a volume, I don't think that's pretty smart. In the notification menu, you can long press to toggle WiFi and bluetooth, and how about mobile data? No you can't do shit about it using long press. You have to go through menu again. ART mode is great, photo sphere is great. But Google what not just fix the little user friendly thing first? Or you just try to say hey otherwise how do third party soft ware developers survive?
Well hell yeah cuz i got a hugh expectation for cyanogenmod phone!
