I'm not too wild about RC3 and I'll tell you why. His roms REALLY gained my trust with 2.5.2 vanilla. It was optimized had all the garbage apps removed including facebook, VZ Sync etc. I install RC3 and it has all that crap installed, I can handle sense and the things it has to have but honestly?? I think he should have kept the momentum he was using and released all the social network stuff in a package you could install if you wanted it. Didn't add in his font on the notification bar, so ugly, and left a stock kernel on it.
Why? Well when I look at a ROM I want bear basics. Nothing there but what has to be there to make the phone function properly. I want to add the kernel I want, the apps I want, and the customizations to the UI I want. I don't want your stuff.....bottom line is I think he lost his way sometime between 2.5.2 and 3.0. It works great for some and I applaud him for his efforts for those people, much like yourself. Bottom line is before I'll install his ROM and have to remove things I'll do it on my own nice clean, android ROM.
Hopefully when / if he releases a vanilla version it will be without all that other stuff. CM 6.0.1 here hoping to a better day!
