It's definitely a good system, but I think the library is most concerning for me compared to previous Xboxes. While I absolutely think the XB1 has far better interfaces and features (I'm including things like media controls, UI, and especially the controllers), I think a major problem for the XB1's future is the lack of exclusive single-player experiences. So far, they've been kind of weak in my opinion, and they're probably going to grow fewer and far between as it looks more and more like persistent online/multiplayer experiences are going to be their bread and butter. The 360 on the other hand had some excellent single player output that I don't think we'll ever see again in the near future.
Off-topic: A slight nitpick I have with Cortana on Xbox is you need to say "Hey Cortana." The problem? Whenever I do, my laptop, Surface and phone all perk up their ears waiting for voice commands. Give me the robust Cortana voice commands but activate using "Xbox" again :/
