Granted, it is a nice way to convert a Windows phone to Android, like the nice HTC. I had. Or if you don't have the money to acquire a true Android device. But on my case was not lack of knowledge , I'm a long time Linux user.
As a reliable business phone that you use for work all days, I would not recommend that exercise to anyone but a stock Android experience. But if you have a spare phone of you can live with minor Android issues I agree with you and sometimes is even cheaper than get a full and stock Android experience, like the Nook Color tablet for example.

I am sorry if I misunderstood your point of view. I am using a custom Froyo rom with only very slight modifications from stock, other than rooting. It has been very reliable and well supported all this year. There are several others that also seem to be well supported on XDA-Developers, although I do know of some that are battery eaters as well. I just did not want to see all of the open-source work down by the XDA-Developers people painted with the same brush as your first post in this thread seemed to do.
