Welcome, I feel certain you will be happy with your choice.
I made the move from my Eris with xtrSense and would never go back. Stuck with the stock firmware (for now & I can live with it) but everything else is much better (for me). Temp root and use Bloat Freezer to at least put the bloatware out of the way. Faster phone & larger screen (but not too big) are big winners IMO.
The quietness here may be due to many happy owners and little to discuss regarding rooting, firmware, etc.. Although for sure TB and Charge are the hot items right now. Let's just hope that HTC will unlock the Inc2 in the not-too-distant future.
