Very often, certain ROMs are virtually stock with a few necessary improvements because there are people who enjoy that.
I prefer to get rid of most (and sometimes all) of the overlay because bloatware is the perennial drawback to most hardware.
It sounds as though porting a ROM for that purpose would be incredibly easy if one did find the drivers:

I mostly use Cyanogenmod. Fairly stable, sticks mostly with the stock interface, with a few good usability tweaks, plus it has some of the most wide spread support. CM started supporting the sprint version of the GS3 with version 9, but has zero support for the GS1 or GS2, due to driver issues. My guess is the GS3 is supported because it shares enough in common with the Galaxy Nexus, which has been supported by the Android Open Source Project since day one (and by extension, pretty much all ROMs). At least with those, you can root them, so you can uninstall the bloatware.
