OK here is my take on it all. And BTW I am a Google fan boy.
I like to call Android a "Google Phone". Data in the clouds. Slim apps on devices.
The phone carriers want to put themselves between the user and Google. And they go way beyond putting their logo in the start-up screen, and to geeks they mess it all up. And this slows down the revision process enormously.
HTC does Sense UI. Motorola does Blur.
CM is an attempt at getting back to the basic Google roots-ish.
