Nice read. I too highly encourage people to use CyanogenMod.

One thing that was worth being mentioned is one of the very best features of CyanogenMod: Privacy Guard.

It basically allows grained control over what permissions can an application have (read/write contacts, phone logs, location, etc). It's of course possible to allow an access all the time, or just when needs it.

Thanks to privacy guard, one can use applications that might compromise privacy, without compromising privacy.

When using the "ask every time", I've been surprised how many applications try to access my info for no obvious reason, sometimes even when your phone's idle.
