As a 1st gen. Moto G owner, i feel similar. I feel annoyed to be forced to get a new phone every two years. It was a much better experience to use Chrome and Spotify together with this phone in 2014. Now Spotify alone is freezing from time to time, especially after the latest update. Chrome was fast and responsive. Now it's guaranteed that if I open a web page in Chrome, any other app i might have open are killed and will have to be reloaded if i want to go back to them quick. I really like the phone and wish to use it for a while longer, but my experience is getting a bit worse each day.

My 1st gen Moto G is still going strong. Loading apps may be a little slow, but things rarely crash randomly. I'm pretty careful about exiting out of apps that I'm not actively using though, especially Google Maps.

I recently updated the OS to CyanogenMod though, mainly because the phone stopped receiving security updates. I wouldn't say the phone performs better running CM, but it's no worse than when I first bought the phone. I really hope CynogenMod can keep the ball rolling. I wouldn't want to run the stock image after it's fallen this far behind security updates.

In 2014 you had Kitkat, which was the last "good" Android release. The L (and future) are just horrible with memory and they don't care, since most of the devices now are 2GB+.
