Nah I like rooting. The main reason I did it is because I wanted to change to a sense 4 Rom. I was spoiled by the One V and Sense 4. I figured if I could out it on the EVO V I'd be happy. Which I am, I can deal without 3D. Everything else to my knowledge works. Though nit sure about 4G. I don't get 4G here.
 
TiBU is a big factor, wifi tether, the ability to add in bits and pieces of what I want, or try a new ROM, although for some reason I always end up back at stock. And just knowing that I can do whatever I want to my phone.
 
I rooted my phone in order to get better performance out of it, customize it further with roms other than stock, and to get rid of goddamn bloatware once and for all.

But rooting is only the beginning. In order to have total control of this phone, you still need to unlock it and get S-OFF. I think I've said that before somewhere.
