What do you mean why? I just asked if I should get the developer edition.

But you didn't say why you were considering it?

Well I like the fact that the developer edition has unlocked bootloader which will make it easy to root and s-off.

I just unlocked the bootloader and got S-off on my Sprint M8. Root also. It was fairly easy. So that isn't a very good reason to buy the developer edition.

Yeah I guess your're right. I don't think there is a reason for me to get the developer edition.

There is one good reason! No carrier bloatware!!!

Can convert regular carrier M8 to GPE.

No bloatware now that's what I'm talking about

Doesn't the Developer Edition have Sense? That's all bloat. If you want bloat free, get or convert to a GPE edition. Now that's bloat free.

Yeah GPE is stock android so it is bloatware free.

I have the Sprint HTC M8. Is it possible to convert to the GPE version? If so, is it hard to do? How would I go about it? What would be the benefits?

No, its not. That's what you get and deserve for choosing a stupid CDMA carrier.
