Absolutely not.

I rooted my Galaxy S4 (took all of 30 seconds) just so I could load Titanium Backup to restore all my apps (and app data), call logs, SMSs, and wifi credentials from the backup I took from the Galaxy S3. I also disabled much of the bloatware on the phone and installed Apex Launcher to hide TouchWiz.

There is no custom ROM out there that supports T-Mobile's Wi-Fi Calling feature, so I'm stuck using the stock ROM--which, is fine by me.
