I actually like Apple Music. Keep forgetting to cancel Spotify, but haven't used it in about four weeks.

That's because iOS 8 in general is a mess, a complete disaster. Welcome to Tim Cook's Apple.
Grow up! It's hardly that bad. iOS 9 is great if u are so deeply concerned.

I bet the bugs I've had since IOS 8.0 / Sept 2014 haven't been fixed yet. But that's ok, just keep fixing the new bugs. Screen orientation working properly on a stock text app I understand is way too much to ask almost a year after release.
I've learned to like the freezing effect of the stock keyboard as well. I consider it a feature you don't even have to turn on: Auto Pissed Off.
I haven't seen these issues. Maybe there's a problem with your device. Have you tried all the logical sensible steps to try and resolve it? or are you one of these people that won't bother and just whine?

I pay a premium with Apple products so I expect top notch quality. If I want crappy bug ridden software to work with, I'd just use the $220 Moto G Android.

Same here.
The curated playlists are great and much better than the Spotify ones. Discovery of new music through the playlist recommendations is far superior to Spotify.The interface is a bit more complicated than what we are used to from Apple, but I have no problem with it now. So overall, like it a lot.

Of course not.... But some things need an OS update and can't be fixed on the server side.

Sorry but Spotify is much simpler and cleaner than Apple Music. Sadly.
Apple Music reminds of a the old Microsoft. Bloated!!!
Seriously.
This is Spotify: Song is kicking. Go to "go to artist" and hear all of the artist's songs. or go to Album and check at the LP.
Apple Music can't even get that right.
Spotify's UI is clean. I like.
Come on Apple. Wanted to love it but it fell so short.

You don't need to convince me. I have tried both and found Apple Music superior. That it is different for you is great, but please don't present your opinion as fact. Judging from the likes on my post I'm certainly not the only one that prefers Apple Music.
