No mute button and two steps to unlock? Come on Google FFS, this is not an improvement.
I updated my nexus 4 using the guide here - http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2mgh8o/nexus_4_lollipop_ota_link_and_update_guide/
I didn't lose any data. My apps were all there I didn't even have to log in again in most cases. I think this is because it uses the OTA update file. Took an hour or so (mostly just doing it's own thing like optimising apps) and was much easier then the previous attempt I had which I think used a factory image. The only hicup was when I used a crap usb cable that wasn't sustaining data transfer.
The new interface is nice and it feels much snappier. Battery seems better but I can't really say for sure as I've not been away from a charger long enough to really test it.
Not noticed any issues with apps being incompatible either which is good.
Very positive A++ would update again

I've heard lots of reports about this. We've got a nexus 7 2012 and I haven't bothered updating that. I heard the 2013 was OK though

Fact Me Till I Fart
There are quite a few stories going round that they have indeed bolloxed up the update for the 2012 N7 - two choices - either back up and reset to factory default and don't install any updates - or tough it out and wait for a 5.1 to drop.

Yeah, my 2012 N7 is now almost unusable after the update. ~30 seconds to open most apps. About the same to load any web page. Bah.

It's not that bad for me but there's definitely a delay and it made my boy cry cos jet pack joyride was in slow motion.

OK, some googling reveals how to mute the phone and how to use smart unlock - I take it back. It's running nice and fast on my N5.
Downloading right now..
Installing.. Slowly
OOOOOOOOHHHH!!! 
Immediately seems slower 
Don't like the light grey keyboard or the green-blue icons in menus or the daft "reverse / record / stop" buttons that replace back / home / apps either

You can change the colour of the keyboard.
Where? The menu icons are a crap colour too
I always hate the updates at first but rapidly get used to them and end up hating the next load of changes
Update: Meh, tbh. It's OK I suppose
