If you want a phone that has with it a "pure Android" experience, meaning one where there is no carrier and/or manufacturer apps and custom inferfaces, can be easily modified or be used as a developer phone, be the first to receive OS updates, have flagship-level hardware (when it was released), minimalist design, a size that's considered medium in smartphone circles (4.95 inch display), can be used most anywhere in the world (unlocked), then the Nexus 5 is for you.
As of this writing, even with the much larger Nexus 6 released, the Nexus 5 still can compete with a number of the flagship phones in the market, and is a value and size alternative given the price point. With the release of Android 5.0 (Lollipop) OS, the experience is even snappy and smoother than ever.
