This root definitely works, I was successfully able to root my backflip on the first go and I have used a couple root-only apps to test it out, and everything is looking good so far. And yeah, I think you're right about the small development community, but luckily some things done for other devices should be relatively easy to shift over to the backflip, especially if it can be done on the Cliq since it is a pretty similar device.
I personally plan on giving a go at putting together a vanilla android rom. Haven't put together any roms in the past, but my several years of programming experience should help out. I'll make sure to let everyone know if/when I have something working.
