I know this is an opinionated subject, and I realize that a Cyanogen mod wont be out for ICS right away, but I wanted to know if current Nexus users typically run it, or just leave there vanilla device stock? I've never run Cyanogen, but I believe it's intention is to mimic vanilla android on non-nexus devices. I guess the question is, does Cyanogen clean up any of the stock code so that it might even run faster/smoother with better battery life, or does it get no better than stock Nexus?

I added a poll to your post. If you hate me, send me a nasty PM and I'll remove it :p

You can almost run it like the stock with a few useful features. First, it gives more storage pace for Nexus one. You can have things like battery %, trackball wake, a modified lock screen and power widget in the notification pull-down... things like that. There are tons of more things you could do with, but I run it mainly for things mentioned above. I think it is better than the stock.

I did run CM7 for a long time on my Nexus S 4G and still do on my Nook Color. But I've become and big fan of Peter Alfonso's GPA/Bugless Beast ROM since he started for the NS4G.

CM7 has lots of great features and a good community but Peter's stuff is just fast so it's my daily driver now.

Loved Pete's work on my old D1.. he makes the fastest cleanest smoothest roms bar none
