I went from ps3 to Xbox and I would have to disagree with everything you said. Since I've got my Xbox I've never looked back. It's a far more social console and service then the ps3.
Since we pay for online that means that the money can go towards future improvements. The new dashboard is soon to be released and ps3 has had the same menu for years. Other great features are the latest news and videos which show you what's happening in the gaming world. Party chat is one of the main features for Xbox which makes it stand out from ps3 and makes it a more social orientated console.
The console loads a lot faster then I was expecting it to and being able to store games on your HDD means you can get the best out of them.
If Sony ever charged for online then ps3 users would expect some of the great services Xbox live provides. But since it is and will likely remain free you can't expect Sony to use its own money to give you more features do you? After all it is still a business so they will be looking at spending as little as they can as the only money they make from existing customers is from the purchase of dlc (obviously games are included)
So the statement "you get what you pay for" is true and as Microsoft has more money coming in from its customers, you can expect great features that you don't get from free psn.
