Depends on if they want to dev for it. The Verizon Note 3 dev has even less support than the mainstream model. Not too mention the unpopularity and stigma that goes with CDMA devices among the dev community.

Personally, it is always hard to pick up any android device over the nexus. I was convinced I was not going to get the nexus 6 b.c of the size, and now I am 99% sure I will have the nexus 6 within a month of its release.
My phone sits in my pocket nearly all day (since I have a moto 360) and I do most of my browsing when I get home. I feel like the nexus 6 could totally replace my nexus 7, but also serve as a phone with great battery.

The iphone 6+ lag:
Brings up tabs in safari
Spotlight
Rotating home screen when spotlight or notification center open
Scrolling in safari
A few apps lagged (like tweetbot) that didn't on my old 5s or my wife's 6.
Look, until you use it, can you really have an opinion? I hated previous samsung phones and the overbearing touchwize. I always preferred the smoothness of ios, with the nexus line being its only equal.
This iteration of the note 4 changed that, its a supberb phone that has gave me the best experience I have had thus far with a mobile phone, I have had many.
I will keep an open mind with the nexus 6, but the note 4 will be hard to beat.

Not true. 99% of the time the same root method works on incremental updates. I already updated my Note 4 and I was rooted before that, the same root method worked with no problem.
Are you sure about great batterylife, because this would be my biggest doubt about the Nexus 6, otherwise it made me think twice about buying a note 4, this could be my first Nexus device.
I think its because they dared to try and compete with apple (shock horror). In a section of the forum about alternatives to iOS, its even more puzzling.
I'm in the same boat. When my Nexus 7 was still operable I loved using it despite having the Note 3 as my daily driver. Now, the Note 4 had me won over as opposed to the iPhone 6 plus. Whew, finally my hunt has ended .... but no. NO. Now lollipop on an amazing 6" Quad HD display. That sounds like the sweet spot between the nexus 7 and Note series. All I need is a hands on verification. If it's not too unwieldy I will definitely be getting the Nexus 6.
I really do think all of the previous nexus problems will be fixed...battery, camera, and cell chip. They are making a flagship now versus a developer phone that had to cut corners to keep the price low.
Congrats!The Note 4 is pretty sexy too....these are good times to be a power phone enthusiast.
Thanks!
I look forward to reading your N6 first review!
