You heard that its hard but in reality your friend is an idiot and you should attempt it yourself and you'll see its dead simple once you install it. Youtube tutorials are all over!!!!

Flashing is usually very simple. The only way it gets hard is if you have a device that requires downgrading of software to make this possible. Usually if you wait long enough after the launch it is easy. Samsung is by far the easiest to root via ODIN. Once rooted and placing custom recovery on it, its brainless to do.
I have used Cyanogen and prefer it. However, my ATT Skyrocket has a alpha release with some quirks like low volume in a call and camera that is not as clean and clear compared to Touchwiz based roms. I look forward to Ice Cream.

It is scary to do a root but so worth it. There is pretty much nothing you can do to "brick" a phone anymore. The problem with doing it is that it's like a tattoo... once you start you can't stop modding. I've had CM7 in the past. It is very nice because you really can change everything. I disagree with the post about Samsung being the easiest. My employee who has the Fascinate had tons of problems with Odin. Unrevoked for HTC was literally a 2 button step. I have to admit I have been happier with MIUI over CM7. I run ADW over it because I don't want my incredible looking like an iPhone. MIUI gives you the ability to change core things easier through themes such as boot animation, boot sound, fonts, etc. CM7 requires you to modify file names and locations versus point and click of MIUI. My 2 cents

I love CyanogenMod, but the battery life is complete garbage. I can get up to 6 hours usage and have two days of standby time on my GSII with TouchWiz. CM7 I am lucky to get even half of that. The UI is really great and the theme engine makes my pants explode from inside out, but if you are a power user I wouldn't recommend it. Hopefully CM9 will improve the battery problem.
