First off I'd like to say... I love the kitchen, I really do! If it wasn't for the hard work of the many individuals that invested so much time into this, none of this would have ever been possible.

Honestly, I have recently started using the kitchen to make my "base ROM", then taking that cooked ROM and decoding it to change the little things that can't quite be tweaked from the kitchen. I like to add a little more of a personal touch to my ROMs and I release them to the public because I think that other people might like what I have done as well. A bunch of this stuff is really simple to do from the kitchen for general users, but another handful of it is not. For example, adding documents in the start menu, replacing WM sounds with Vista sounds, and whatever else it is that I've done before.

Up until a month or two ago I wasn't even familiar with how to use a kitchen, I never even tried. I was just used to disassembling the ROM image and doing everything manually... and that is still the way I do certain things in my ROMs. But you kow what? it's personal preference... it's all personal preference. For those of you that like to play around, I encourage you to use the kitchen, it can actually be quite fun.
