Lollipop definitely feels like a beta release. As for features removed, it feels like this is Google's Windows 8. I had to download QuickPic to do what Gallery used to do (no-nonsense viewing of media stored on my device, no I don't want your cloud). A lot of text is gone and I have to do a web search to figure out what the icons mean and what I'm supposed to touch to do what I'm trying to do. Using my Nexus now requires me to read the manual. My e-mail went unsynced for days before I figured out how to manually sync it again. I bought a Nexus to avoid all the crapware, and now Google is churning out the crapware directly to my phone.
