You can load other home screens however. I currently have Sweeter Home load and switch between them with ease. If you are not familiar with Sweeter home go to www.sweeterhome.net to see. This program is still in beta but can be downloaded from this site. WARNING: This program is programming intensive but when you get the hang of it, it is fun to use.

However, if you were able to manage to disable Sense, you'd have the standard Android 2.1 home (a la the N1).
That's nice, however, you're disregarding the OPs actual question...You do not have to turn Sense Off. I currently have loaded Sweeter homes, HelixLauncher2, and HTC Sense loaded on my phone. When I press the home button it allows me the choice of which one I want loaded right now. I can switch between them with no problem. The only difference I have seen is that when you are not in the Sense UI all of the sense ui widgets will not show...This could be fixed when rooting is done.

why get a phone with sense ui only to turn it off ? i really haven't seen a good answer to this. it's not a significant battery drain, doesn't impact to performance, nor does it get in the way. so...why turn it off?
And that's why we have the phone - we love choice. A phone running sense uses more resources than one that doesn't. While this may not affect most, some people prefer more control over their device.
I didn't get the phone for Sense - I got it because it was a high powered Android device on Verizon's network with quality hardware. I'm not complaining, mind you, but I would like to disable it at some point to properly explore homescreen alternatives.
Many didn't buy it for the Sense UI, but for the hardware...
Exactly.
But as others have said, you cannot turn Sense off I just did the "Force Close" on Sense and now it doesn't have a home screen at all. When I hit the back button it scrolls through the three apps open (settings, phone, people).
When you hit the home key it shows "HTC" and reloads Sense
