I've been an avid fan and promoter of SPB MS for some time. I only started using it since version 3.0, but used it on my TP1, Treo Pro (not very nice), and then with my stock TP2. I love the app personally. I have to state that I preferred it over TF3D 2.1 because it provided a lot more customization and allowed me to see my calendar the way I wanted to see it -for the most part. Manilla popped up a couple of items on the home tab, and then the calendar was a lousy month view only (perhaps I'm wrong, perhaps there were tweaks -I don't know).

However, I'm now using Juicy's R2 rom and it comes with Sense UI (TF 2.5). I've got to say that I haven't bothered reinstalling MobileShell since. It adds a lot more features, including quick links on the home tab to programs, contacts, etc. And the calendar is much improved...with a great agenda view.

It's early days. Perhaps I'll go back to MS, but for now I'm happy playing with TF 2.5.

Just my opinions and preferences only. Everyone will always have different reasons for using their favourite UI. It's what works for you.
