Interesting, as I just got an ATV4 and a Roku.  After less than a week with
the Roku, I offered it to a friend as a gift.

The initial setup of the Roku was obnoxious.  I find the interface
unattractive, and unless something happened to SlingTV while I was using
it, the Roku seems to have much poorer video quality than even my old Apple
TVs.

The Apple TV setup was much more pleasant, and made much easier with the
auto-appearing keyboard helper on my iPad (whenever the Apple TV needs you
to type, a prompt comes up on the iPad lock screen offering a remote
keyboard).

As to app selection, I think that is a personal thing.  I am sure that the
Roku is missing some app that somebody wants. 

I do agree with your comments about the Apple TV's remote.  While I do
appreciate the functionality it brings, I pretty much hate everything else
about it.
