The added features and looks are nice sometimes but I find they just bog down the phone too much overall. I like looks of the stock ROM on my Huawei Ascend Mate but sometimes it lags here and there and its just unbearable.

Now I'm trying to learn how to build Android from source for an "unsupported" device (because nobody else is doing it). Its confusing when relying on the internet though.

i agree, that may be bothering, but lag may not be unacceptable in high-end phones from samsung, sony, etc., and here, you get better features. in addition, some features in stock android are just dull (e.g., cam app). however, stock android interface looks good to me.
