I think we have been conditioned from the Mogul days that stock ROM is horrible.

I actually had to use the stock ROM a few days while I waited for support from the Hard-SPL team.

Conclusion. Not as flashy but most everything worked as advertised. It's not as pretty but it still works.
It's also funny what everyone considers junkware... I might be one of the few but I actually like Sprint TV. It comes in handy when you are waiting in line or at the airport and when you don't have NFL network.
Also since when did SprintNav become junkware?

The customs ROMS are nice because most of them are cutting edge and I think that is what attracts people. Manila 2.5 is nice too but I'm waiting for the day when everything works like stock.
