It's one of those things. I was creating a custom theme on my EVO, and everything was going great, but the more I got the theme to my liking, HTC's SenseUI crap kept screwing up the vibe. In order to make some of those changes (e.g. the lock screen), I had to root and install a custom ROM. I'm glad I did, though, there are so many more cool things I can do now (like USB tether without a $25/mo. charge).
