THAT is an absolute shame.

This is true. I've used your cleanup, and it was by far the fastest setup on my phone, but there are legit uses of modded roms. Manila 2.5 does have functionality on top of it's looks.
I'm a serious business user and can care less about the animations. I just need things to have quicker access, and have found it through manila 2.5, but those roms are also overly bloated. The xda_uc platform is very promising though. I'm sure rom developers will eventually come up with a bare bones and fast manila 2.5 rom, with optional stuff in the xda_uc folder. that would make my life a lot easier, but surprisingly, chefs arent there yet. I wouldnt mind cutting down animations to stuff like tf2d. I dont need fancy graphics, just need a snappy phone with icons on the main screen for quick access.
There is SPB mobile shell, which helps greatly, but I've found that battery life is poop with it. Maybe I'll eventually go back to that, along with wm6.1.
