If using custom-rom without SenseUI.. what's missing exactly?

[DroidGnome]

Ok besides the obvious Sense widgets (Clock, Friendstream, etc..)

What else is part of "Sense" on the Evo? I've never seen another android device close up so I have no clue as to what parts of of my UI are using Sense and what are not.

I've set up ADB Launcher to see what sense-less looks like, and other than the widgets I don't see a single difference.. there has to be more for the huge 40meg app that is SenseUI.

Are some of the nice contact features (all-in-one links etc...) part of Sense perhaps? or is that stock android?

Reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of rooting and switching in the somewhat near future, mostly so I can get a decent backup app working (even my Palm OS could do this years ago!). If I root, I figure I might as well check out some custom roms, but wondered exactly what it is about Sense that everyone dispises.. ADB is very similar (or can be if set up a certain way), so I'm wondering what it is I'm not seeing.

It depends what your running. If you have a ROM with sense but using Launcher2 (like the stock one) the only noticeable difference you'll see is the widgets and amount of home screens.

If your running a AOSP, FroYo, ect. ROM without sense there will be no Facebook sync either.

Yea The FB Sync is a Drag... I like the Pictures attached to my Contacts...

But there is a work around for this... I remember seeing it somewhere...
