Same here, I unlocked, rooted and installed CWM, but nothing I really care to flash yet. Too many Alpha/Beta roms, I'll wait for some stable/milestone releases.
Paranoid Android. Being able to set tablet mode and DPI on individual apps is beyond awesome. Plus, it's based on CM10 so it has all those goodies as well.
PLEASE post a live link to PA for N7 if you know of one. I have been searching for a live link for days. The goo.im for the PA developer seems to have taken the grouper version off.

Always a fan of bugless since the droid 1 days. Always my go to rom.

So....I'm going to ask the dumb question of the benefits of rooting the nex7(aside from fast boot time, cpu tweaks?).....I have maguro rooted so spare the crazy comments.
Stock seems fine to me but I'm open to reasons to root.

Rooting doesn't have any benefits. It just allows lower level access to parts of the phone. Faster boot times and cpu tweaks will come from a custom kernel and/or ROM.
If you don't want to go that far about the only reason you may want to root the N7 is for titanium backup or similar apps.

This. In reality, rooting allows you to grant root-level permission, that's all. Unlocking is the true "beneficial" act, IMO.

I also like to root so I can freeze apps I do not like. On the N7 I have found when I use Nova Launcher sometimes it jumps into default launcher - if I freeze it this issue goes away. Also, if I prefer a different browser I will freeze default browser...small thing I know but it does have a benefit for me.
Maybe I should change my avatar -
