Is it worth waiting for an update? ROM List

Most people can only be convinced of rooting their android because their phone will probably never, ever, EVER, get an official update. That was why i rooted my lg thrive and now it has turned into a more functional phone than a non rooted samsung galaxy s3 will ever be. I am running cyanogen mod 10. But i have used the following
MIUI v3
MIUI v4
CyanogenMod 7-7.2
CyanogenMod 9 (multiple ones, luphirp, aosp, aokp etc.)
CyanogenMod 10
Oxygen Rom android 2.3.7
And alot more weird crazy roms.

These were all roms that had issues and probelms, but even with thoughs problems, it was better than with crapy android 2.2.1.

If your update will come in a month, then wait, but if you have to wait a year, dont wait. Phones like HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy SIII, and Galaxy Nexus, and Nexus 7, will always updates, no mater how old, but others, just have to deal with the fact that they are not going to get updates after 1 year.

Also
Stock Jelly bean, ICS, or gingerbread, is always better than Motoblur, HTC Sense, Samsung Touchwiz UI's. the phones have been screwed up by the customizations.

SO DONT WAIT, ROOT NOW
