The worst feature of the Apple TV remote is that you lose them so easily (because they're tiny). Amazon Fire TV's RF remote (which is somewhat larger) has the same problem, and it's far harder/more expensive to replace. Note that the AppleTV can be programmed to recognize almost any remote (and adds extra buttons). I agree completely about the IR receiver and also the Apps (especially if you have more than one device -- switching devices is a total pain).
