Yes, because most of the awesome apps on android require root. so your in luck, dude. anyway i got root also.

Actually, most of the rooted apps you can get are on the android market..

No need for a second store, though we do have a few other outlets for apps, like Getjar.

This is correct. There a few places to get apps from, legally, the Android Market, Amazon, Get Jar, SlideIT.

Since Google doesn't frown upon rooted devices they offer them like they offer any other app. Just make sure that is says "root required" prior to downloading.

It's a port off of the SDK. Some people are using as their daily drivers. However i'd either use Cyanogen Mod's 2.3.7 and wait on ICS to be fully unconditional or use what you are planning on using.
