I must be one of the lucky ones. I've NEVER had a stock rom that I was disappointed with. With every winmo phone I've ever owned (the tp2 is my 3rd, following the tp1 and the vogue), I've never hated the stock rom. With the vogue, it took me a year to leave the stock rom. The tp1's stock rom was pretty bad with battery life, but that was because of the lack of the heat sink in the device's hardware, which drained the batter (in other words, no fault of the software).
The TP2's stock rom was amazing too, but I didn't stay with it because, by that time, Mighty had already had a good reputation with me, so I flashed to his rom immediately.
Anyway, I never understood what the other users on this site were talking about when they mentioned the evils of the stock rom. I'll admit that custom roms made it better, but Winmo phones are very far from unusable when it's stock.
And on a side note, even if it didn't work right outside of the box, the fact that you could customize it and turn it into the king of all mobile platforms (in my opinion, that is. Like you say, to each his own =) ) would be enough to make me choose it over the iphone or Android.
