I'm in that camp: I want a phone that works and is secure out of the box, but don't want all the adware and ad-supporting bloatware that Google and Apple load unto Android and iOS. This was long overdue in CyanogenMod.
(So far, CyanogenMod is the only realistic alternative for those of us who want a safe, secure, 'unbloated' phone.)
That's what I want and I don't really understand why I would want to give access to ADB or whatever.. I've used linux just enough to have a feel for what sudo is, but don't have a feel for how Android works.
I put CM7 on a Nook Color before but just got my first smartphone 2 days ago. I never updated the CM on my Nook because it seemed like a pain but plan to try to do more on the phone since I will be using it more.
