  So-called skins have a very poor reputation primarily because of their influence on slow update times (whether real or overblown).

    My issue is that manufacturers try to reinvent the wheel and end up breaking things because they suck at software. Manual set up of Exchange accounts was flat out broken on my Droid 4 the first 3-4 months it was on the market, despite being something that works perfectly fine in vanilla Android. The breakage happened because Motorola decided to implement their own "corporate account" feature rather than just use the one that was baked in.
