I'm not saying the iPhone is a bad device, but your posts seem to imply it's more functional than Android OS, and that sir is quite simply and utterly untrue by any stretch of the imagination. Rather than address your individual points - because most of them are actually incorrect given what my reply is going to be - I'll simply say this. You're being too impatient, you're quite easily flustered, and you need to actually spend enough time learning how your new choice of OS works. Especially as a software engineer (btw why do so many people tell us they do that for a living?) once you take that advice it's going to become quickly apparent to you that Android is currently a quantum leap ahead of iOS. Simply put, you've passed judgement before knowing what you're doing with it. If you want basic simplicity with less functionality my advice would be to return to Apple.
edited to add: You may not realize it but you've done the exact same thing every other ex-iPhone owner I know has done - just jumped automatically to a Samsung because being an iPhone user that's the brand you've seen publicized the most. This tells me you also didn't really bother taking the time to explore and investigate more brand options. See the pattern here?
I'm going to ruffle some fanboy feathers here but I don't care: Not a day passes that I don't see someone say "PA/CM/Evasion runs so much better and is just as stable robble robble robble!" It's a load of bull (for those of you who wish to argue otherwise, you can cut and paste that last part into your reply so I don't have to repeat myself because that's my final response to that debate). Custom ROMs and iPhone jailbreaks are never as stable as the official. Going down that road is only Nirvana if you like to F around with tinkering a lot, which you have clearly said you don't.

I have not (yet) rooted my S4, but that sounds like just one more thing to consume my time in the quest for a usable phone.
I've also never jailbroken my iPhones in the past, but I'm wondering if a jailbroken iPhone5 really is nirvana
