Although I have no plans on changing the ROM on the Nexus for some time, I don't agree that custom ROMs are hard. Every time I changed the phone ROM was a week of hand-wringing and trying to find time, and then twenty minutes of flashing and re-setting up the phone. The process itself is mostly painless now, especially with something like Cyanogen.
Now picking a good launcher is a whole other story, but probably suited for another topic.
