HTC software wasn't bad at all IMO, it was among the less bloated Android layers of the time. I had three HTC flagships back in the glory days and they were amazing machines, their only problem was that most people preferred to buy the likes of Samsung despite being much worse in almost every respect (software, camera, design, durability, etc.). I don't know if due to bad marketing by HTC or just because they bought reviewers less (they used to have a blatant pro-Samsung bias). Then of course quality actually degraded when they had to make huge personnel cuts due to bad sales.
