Dennis that weird user interface is what makes it easy for users to do things that matter to them, like finding widgets, touch and hold controls on the notifications area. We had this conversation offline with Waciira also on this list.
Nexus is a clean UI but TouchWiz makes doing things easier for the average user. Just like the familiar experience by Nokia in the days of Symbian.
I will contribute onto the Xperia Z2 versus Galaxy S5 later when others give their input. I had a short time with Xperia Z2 in Barcelona as they launched it same time with Nokia X and I had interviews to do. Galaxy S5 on the other hand, I've been with it a few days now and I know quite a lot about it.

Is there much difference between a Nexus and a Samsung to most users, other than a weird user interface on one?The Z2 and Galaxy S5 are pretty similar. Would go for the Z2, but you'd rather wait until a month after both devices are available to read up on the experience. Sometimes manufacturers screw up on the software and there are issues.
