I know it's going to sound like heresy to many, but personally, I greatly prefer Samsung's interface to the generic Android. The large soft buttons take up a lot of the screen, and I don't like them. I also get a lot of use out of the removable battery and the SD card slot.
As for the price, the differential seems like it's smaller outside the US, where the Nexus is barely marketed. And since I don't replace my phone that often, even a $200 difference is just not that critical.
Same here. I actually went through the process of putting the stock S4 Google ROM on my S4 and hated it - and immediately went back to Samsung (just a random thing to illustrate - ability to reboot the phone by long-pressing on the power button and choosing 'Reboot').
There is certainly issue of bloatware - but you can either delete them (with Titanium Backup) or just hide the icons (in my launcher).
