Feedback on 2.2

Ok, long time lurker but it's time for some feedback. I rooted awhile back to see what the hype was all about. Actually no big deal with the exception of being able to try lots of Roms.
Don't know what I was expecting to see but no "wow". Settled on Evil Eris V3 and really like it for the sense factor, slight increase in snappiness with the OC @ 710 and the ability to run a wireless tether.
2.2 Kaos Froyo v28 comes around and I flash and guess what... I went back to the EE Rom because I really like the sense overlay. I missed my calendar, phone contact linking, cool weather widget (actually HTC has the best widegets imo) and everything else.
Bottom line for me is that although I love the Android OS it's really the Android with Sense overlay that I really enjoy. When The Eris first came out I chose that over the moto droid for a few reasons. One being the size and the other was the layout. As someone that was new to Android and smartphones in general I didn't have any experience comparing, didn't know what I liked because I didn't know what there was out there.
Now that I've seen what 2.2 has (no sense) I think I'll wait before anymore flashing. Out of all the Roms I've flashed the ones with sense are the one's I keep coming back to.
This post was not to piss anyone off (mines better than yours) but was just to provide feedback from my experiences.

Agree 100%.
 
I tried a couple of 2.2 ROMS and I struggled with the new a2sd and how that works. I kept running out of room on the internal device even though I moved all my apps to sd....but I could have been doing something wrong....
 
Yes, I love it have had it for a few days now and it's a little quirky but I love the new phone keypad dialing layout.. and how everything just works, and now that its rooted, i can teather my iphone via wifi and it works great!!!!!
 
The only issue with the 2.2 is the battery life, other then that I love it.

I've not done any hard testing, but I think my battery life is holding up just the same, if not even slightly better.

If I were to guess, might be the lower processor speed during screen off, set via profiles in SetCPU?
