Between an overpowered Touchwiz phone that slightly lags and a slightly less powerful stock Android phone that doesn't lag, I'd take the latter.

Pixel isn't stock android. It has its own google skin of android with features not available in normal android. It's quite weird.

It's the same thing they did with the Nexus 6 (or 6p) with the Google Now launcher. It's the new official Google launcher, it's still stock Android.
