I'd get an LG G2. If I could choose now.
only because of the stronger hardware? what else?

so your advice is: "its a great phone all around but don't get it because i got bored with mine?"
Pfftt.... Why do people always needs others to tell them what is best for them. Me the One is the best overall phone for me. There I said it, it's the best for me.

Oh yeah, let me go ahead and add that the phone is riddled with little bugs ever since 4.3, the manufacturer is in a rut at the moment, and you'll get an overall better stock experience through the N5 or LG G2. Is that what you wanted? The phone is old, that's what I was getting at.

Better battery lifeand bigger screen

Everyone bashes Touchwiz because that's what appears cool at the moment. We all on here talk about rooting and flashing roms, or at the very least installing launchers but yet people still act like Touchwiz ruins lives. If you're looking into Android, chances are you will probably be introduced to launchers at some point. HTC and Sense is fine, but so is Samsung's Touchwiz, the LG ui, and Moto Blur. If you don't like it, change it. That's what Android is all about. It's getting so old listening to people talk about customization in one thread, and then whine about a OEM skin in the next.
The only phones on the market that I would currently consider is the Nexus 5 or the HTC One. I love my One and the N5 will be my new daily driver here soon. HTC One will make a great backup phone! Even as a main phone its still an amazing device. Go with your own needs before any hype. I just have a phone problem!
In the case of skins (or forks is you prefer) is that beauty is not just skin deep. The skins also penetrate into your settings menus, system apps, notification bar, etc. For example both Samsung and LG still use the older gingerbread appearance for many of their system apps, ie. the dialer, contacts. Samsung exacerbates the problem by using gingerbread elements on some screens, this florescent green theme on the quick settings, and ICS elements in other areas. While I agree this doesn't bother many people, it's still bothersome to some.
The only way you can rid yourself of this is to use custom ROM's. This is a solution for techies and even in Android circles these days, that's not as common as it used to be. ROM's were a better solution when Android was in a much less refined state than it is now. Back in GB and before that, I'd almost argue that ROMs were a must. Nowadays we're well beyond ROMs being anything more than an alternative way to tinker with your phone.
if you could perhaps give a reason why you'll still prefer the ONE over let's say, G2? thanks.
I like HTC and the device. It just fits me best. Spec and needs alone. I say play with each device and see what one you like the best. Ones opinion may not carry over to another. That is why I love the Android platform. Many many choices!
i wonder why nobody mentions the crappy LG UI which almost rivals the Touchwiz in crappiness. no Launcher can fix that.
if you truly like intuitive and smarter UI, choosing the ONE is a plus.
