I jumped on the "I hatez da Touchwizs" bandwagon shortly after acquiring the Note. I loaded an alternative launcher that gave it that stock Android look and functionality. Two days later I went back to Touchwiz. For all my general hate of Samsung software, I've got to say that Touchwiz seems to get a lot of things right.
the note is tough. in my experiences with a note 2, when touchwiz left most of the decent pen features went with it. stock android doesn't give a good experience with the pen yet; or at least it didn't when I was playing with the ROMs.
