I get that people like traffic and use linkbait, but I do think that this title looks like hyperbole. Is the Nexus 4 a perfect device? No. Is it even a great device -- maybe not. But it at the price point it may well the best device for some non-trivial subset of population.

Google and LG impressed me with this device at the price it's at. Is it the device in my pocket? No... I'm rocking the Lumia 920. But when I look at the short list of phones I'd recommend (depending on various factors of who I'm recommending to) the Nexus 4 is probably quite often on the list.
