I bought a Shield recently for this reason. Interface is so much smoother.
Am now thinking it may also replace my Xbox for gaming. Haven't tested it fully yet but you can hook up an Xbox controller and there are quite a variety of game options on there (geforce now, android games, steam link are what I've seen so far).

Smart TV's use their own ecosystem, often built on top of Android, and it's shitty. You're relying on the support of the manufacturer to keep it up to date and working which they often don't. A Firestick, Roku or the like is much better as it's a dedicated platform. I say this as a developer of a smart TV app.
