sorry, my english is not perfect, but I really want to share my experience.
I bought PS4 last november and minecraft was one of my first purchase. Because at that time I had a good imagine aboute the game. After a couple hours of playing I discovered how this game not complited in comparison of PC edition. PS4 and Xbox one are really powerful systems, but most large world I can fly from one end to other one a few minutes - and endless world at PC. There is no some biomes, some blocks and etc. Content falls short of PC edition.
If I want to build any structure (like a farm) I need test it at Creative and must spent much time to understand - is there a needed possibilities at PS4 edition because almost all guids videos created at PC version. Look at some themes on this forum - people has some problems. "Why my farmer don't plant wheat?" - because it's too much earlier version of PC-analog. How old current generation of consoles? Two years? Is this a real not enough time to tighten consoles versions to PC? After all, current generation is not worse than average modern PC.
Situation is more unpleasantly because there is not crossbuy PS4 and PC version, why? If I want play last version, I need also buy a PC version. Not fear.
MC PS4/XBOX1 is up to update 1.6(Wither) and has skins from 1.8
Yes the map size is smaller and if you are on creative anyone can get to the edge of the world quicker, but if you play on survival it does take some time to get to the edge of the world.
Most farms can be set up you just have to use the controls and some options might be limited or even not there but the PS4/XBOX1 version will be close to PC after the 1.7 equivilent is released.
My suggestion is learn the controls, play around in a test world, and do what you can with what you are given.

i agree with you on many points. I was quite disappointing how limited it is, but that just means that you have to be even more creative on your execution. There is a gigantic void for video tutorials specifically for console players as well, and a lot of times my searches end at pc tutorials for old versions: i.e. 1.6 and lower.
Maybe the console community would like to join me and filling that gap of console tutorials. I would be more than willing to do all the video editing.
I honestly enjoy the fact that the console version is a bit behind PC. Once Microsoft "acquired" Mojang, all the subsequent updates were bug filled and just security fixes anyway.
I've been playing on PS4 since release and the only real limits I've found is enchanting fishing rods and fishing saddles. PC can keep those stupid rabbits.
