Me neither, at least not in the way the smartness of the TV was intended to be used. My recently bought LG 60LB870V, the then-flagship of December 2014, running webOS 1.x.
It turned out to be a really incredibly slow OS with the TV occasionally crashing due to RAM shortage (having to reboot the TV). It's unbearable slow when "SIMPLINK" is on, ie forwarding remote control key presses like "play" over HDMI to my Kodi player, even for stuff that I don't think is forwarded (volume etc). It can without exaggeration take 10s from eg volum-up-press to volume increasing on the TV. Unbearable.
Fortunately, the smartness also allows me to control it programmatically. I've written a small node.js/javascript module here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/lgtv https://www.npmjs.com/package/lgtv so that I can control it over my local network.
I use it to have a webapp served by my media server to press the Totoro-button to switch to HDMI_1, volume = 10, Kodi start movie Totoro (my daughter loves it). Etc. To qoute Jim Carrey, "There's no end to the possibilities!" :)
