Preference is subjective yes...hardware on the other hand isn't :P

1) too bulky + I HATE hardware keyboards.

Even with the kb, the HD2/EVO are bulkier in overall size...but if you hate KB then nothing that can be said

2) cannot put Sense on an Epic, the porting project has been abandoned for lack of success. Personally I like aosp/CM more, but I still like to play with Sense HD ROMs, or at least keep it on my SD card when I want to roll eye-candy.
|
There is a CM port for Epic...its not final but works pretty well...as for sense, it was not abandoned..they are waiting on Froyo source to be released...

3) HDMI out.- I like to play emulators using the wii/ps3 remote on my phone and watch shows/movies at times, having a possibility of outputting it in good quality would be pretty sweet.
|
I don't think the EVO HDMI can output everything...its very limited...the Galaxy S phones have full output but its locked on the Epic due to their useless Sprint TV...the international ones can also output HDMI via microusb converter...but again locked..there is a person who is working to unlock them both...

4) OMJ roms

5) the epic feels like cheap plastic. I know this point is really arbitrary and what-not, but for me it's an issue. Right now I use this awesome metal backed and nice glass HD2, and I just hate the feeling of the galaxy phones.
|
Thats what makes it so light...overall though the build quality is better then say an EVO and HD2 though
...but if feel is important I'm sure you can get a custom back/case >.>

but again, the Epic has a better CPU and does have a s-amoled screen, which are the only 2 hardware things that are "better" Just comes down to what you prefer.
|
You forgot the 6 axis accelometer, and better camera sensor, gorilla glass, better video recorder, 4g has IDLE support and better GPU as well...oh and ARM Neon chip for hardware decode of videos like Divx and Xvid natively...and support for High Profile @L5.1 H264 video..
so yeah only 9 things :/
