It basically got to the point where it was almost un-usable. It was to the point that my phone wasn't even working as a phone at all. Granted, I was running the stock Sprint ROM, but the fact of the matter is that I should NEVER have to install some other unofficial ROM to make the phone work "better." It should work right out of the box.
Having a custom rom work better does not mean it does not work out of box...just means that it can get better..for example..if you overclock you phone to 1.2ghz..it would obviously work better...no matter how good the manufacturer makes something, there will aways be room for improvement....

Another example is things like wireless tether where they want to charge you 30$ a month extra..using modifications you can get that for free...or when carrier pre-loads carrier IQ on your phone you can get that removed..so there is always room to make something "better" no matter how good it initially is...
