Comparison between roms?

[NewYorkLaw]

A similar thread to this was closed, but I hope this thread will remain open long enough to really get some opinions.

PLEASE NOTE -- I AM NOT ASKING WHICH ROM IS BEST. I know each cook's roms are different and that their features list is important to look at. Problem is when I read through the change logs/feature list, not all of that stuff makes sense to me. And, when I try and compare, I don't usually see the differences.

Can those who have been playing with many of the different roms tell me their perceived differences, their perceived pros/cons, and their impressions of each?

Occasionally in some of the threads, someone will make a comparison and invariably someone else will say "it's preference - and this is not the thread for this discussion." So, since I have not found the thread for that discussion I hope to start one. I know it's a tall order, but anyone wiling to give it a shot?
