No real argument from me, all valid points. But again, this seems to agree with what I said before... Stock Android (or CyanogenMod, etc) is the way to go for technical users, but more vanilla users may well prefer the eye candy of Sense (and it's social integration, although we have some of that in Android 2.1 now) without caring too much about the open source implications. >> 1) Super AMOLED screen.
