My first Android was a cheapy which I knew I could install CM on and get a stock Android feeling. I like a few of the additional touches that CM added though. Same as you, several phones later and I just rooted, unlocked and installed a JellyBean ROM, tried several variants but since my phone was no longer supported I opted for a custom ROM. It was too hit or miss as you say, some deviating too far from stock Android for me. I've decided to go back to ICs when my device was supported by CM and a stock Android feeling... They'd have to seriously impress me to go fully CM and deviate away from stock Android.
