This, in my opinion is the best way to for minimum " force close" apps, and missing crucial app's like hidden menus: diag mode, data,debug, manual programming are most of the time missing from custom roms. If there is an official update your custom rom
won't be able to receive it be cause it lame. Even if your flashing to another carrier you don't need custom roms to have it fully functioning web, mms,nav...

While that is certainly true for the casual user and those users who "just need it to work"...some of us are looking to get more out of our devices. With custom roms you can:

• Get rid of carrier bloatware that is using up your resources and limited memory.
• Add custom apps that your device may not have on it natively.
• Get rid of things like CIQ (Carrier IQ).
• Overclock the processor to enable more speed in terms of rendering, opening and closing of apps, better video playback.
• Theme your entire device.
• Get "enhanced" apps like Sprint Hotspot, etc.
• and more....

....but ultimately in comes down to personal choice and how much time you want to spend playing with your phone
