Motortrend's summary statement on the Chevy:

After more than a week of driving and testing, it was inescapably clear how fiercely competitive this class is. All three are good trucks that will serve their deeply loyal customers well, but by the end, a separation was clear. The Chevrolet Silverado is simply a step behind the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 in every regard. To quote Seabaugh: "You know things aren't looking so hot when the best thing about your truck is its Wi-Fi hot spot."

Of course, all manufacturers have issues. Older GMs had transmission issues.

Ford is using higher technology but hasn't worked the quirks out quite yet.

And yes, I have a F150 EB and I like it.
I have to agree with you. I'm not brand loyal, but do own both an f150 and an edge at the moment. I'm usually pretty active on forums. I've never seen such severe and common mass issues of tech on vehicles. From the studder of the last model to the new aluminum body fitment, tech deff has its down sides. Hopefully it all irons out and all the brands keep moving forward.
