When I was on CM9 betas, there were ALWAYS bugs here and there. Basically, I was the ginea pig but I STILL didn't care since IMO, it made my phone perform better than stock. So when I would install an upgrade, I didn't know what would work and what wouldn't, so I had to 'keep up' with it as far as being on the forums and knowing what was possibly working and wasn't. This was 2 years ago! I don't know what the state of rooting is today since I'm not rooted with my S3 but I'm willing to bet that its still the same. People need to be aware of what the trade offs are. I currently feel that the trade off isn't worth it....at least not yet, for me.
Yeah but that is not just rooting. You ran a custom rom, and from the sounds of it a beta/cm nightlies so yeah you had to keep up with them.
If you just root and leave the stock software on there is none of what you went through.
There is no upkeep to just being rooted. When you run custom roms sometimes there is.
