If not otherwise directed, it maintains a constant interval of 5 feet between itself and you.
I'm actually going to disagree here.
That quoted line above say to me that you can stand on it and "otherwise direct it".
you mention its a first level spell and compare it to feather fall and levitate but you have to remember that there are limits on this as well; it stays off the ground by 3 feet and has a movement speed walking. Feather fall will stop you from killing yourself when you drop, levitate allows you to go up and down and fly is..well fly. A slow moving floating disk that hovers 3 foot of the ground wont help you cross a chasm. It specifically states "above ground" so no crossing the water. Its well withing the perview of a 2st level spell. At 1st level it wont even carry a person (well a 98lb weaking maybe)
When reffing and in our groups we say it can be used as transport, slow but fly looking
