Hey when i wrote the op I imagined myself describing my nexus 6, except with a better camera, a removable battery, and expandable memory.

I use the S-Pen on a regular basis, mostly when I'm spending a lot of time reading newspaper/magazine articles on my Note 4. I use the copy text function frequently, and
the link/text preview function when hovering the S-Pen.

I had the S5 and my son was using a very very old original iPhone. I made a deal with him and he got the S5 (he loves it and no turning back to iPhone for him - he drank the kool aid). I then used my eligible phone upgrade and got the Note 4 and have had it since Thanksgiving. I love it just as much as the day I got it. Since it's on VZW, it is completely stock, but other than bloatware, and the fact I can use Nova Launcher, I have it customized the way I like it. I rarely use the S Pen, unless I want to share something I see on a browser page or something. I was at a meeting a couple of weeks ago and needed to jot down some information. I was searching for a piece of paper and a pen and then I was like DUHHH, you have a Note 4. The pen worked great and I got the notes jotted down that I needed. Like Johnny Kansas - I will never be able to go back to a smaller screen again. Love this phone! Battery life is phenomenal. I charge it when I get home from work and an hour later it's at 100% and good for the next 24 hours. It takes fantastic pictures too.

I will be ditching the S5 for a Note 4 in the coming weeks

I ditched my S5 on Thursday for this phone and it is just amazing. I'm still trying to get used to the size, as I have very small hands.
I would probably use the S Pen more if it were placed on the left side of the phone, as I am a lefty.
I am amazed by the battery. My first full day, I went 20hrs54min off charger and had 5hr34min of on-screen time. That's including almost 2hrs of playing Candy Crush :D My S5 would have been dead long before that.
I really want to go back to using SwiftKey, but I don't want to lose the capability of writing with the pen

Thinking about it more, I think I've determined the other reason I don't think to use the s pen regularly. I've grown accustomed to using the device one-handed like I have with previous smaller phones. Unless I'm playing a game or something in landscape mode, I rock the Note in one hand all day long, which is "handier" to me. So, it has to be a conscious decision to tie up both hands to use it.
Can't imagine using that behemoth one-handed...

I use mine 1 handed often without even enabling 1 handed operation. It's actually easier to do than on the Note2 because of the much smaller bezel.

You won't lose the capability to write. Use any keyboard you want. Hover the pen over any text input area til you get the blue circle with a T in it.

Click the blue circle & the handwriting interface comes up.
