What I remember most was having to make an e/OS account a la google in order to be able to use the ROM, and some of the third party apps it shipped with were of dubious origin, mainly Chinese IIRC. I'd heard other sources talking about it being behind on patches then as well. Overall, it gave me the ick, especially the account bullshit, and I continued with Lineage.
Not sure why you feel the need to call me a scumbag.
