Animation is not a concern if you like the iPhone animation, if your android phone whichever is rooted you can certainly set those up no problem with a simple zip install.
In my opinion to the “run around” the os is to crowded, the stock launcher sucks so 80% of the user have to install a third party launcher, nova, Google now, apex etc. .
The stock messaging app sucks, so again you need to install third party app like hangout, Google messenger, textra .
Google apps are always running in the background so you have to take an extra step to disable them or your battery will go to crap.
Battery standby time complete crap.
Security compare to IOS is crap, anyone can take your android phone and reset it and even if is locked with the Google app security feature you can just load a different rom.

You can you Jailbreak your Iphone and have the same setup if that is really something that is important for you.
On the note 5 Google + is laggy when scrolling , also Google now page is laggy when scrolling, also the stock keyboard is laggy when typing so you need to install google keyboard or swiftkey to see if it fixes the problem.
