When i had a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3.0.x) for some weeks, i didn't like it. When i had a Galaxy Nexus (4.2.x) for a week, i didn't like it too. Both were bland, boring, and feeling very restricted. But being corporate devices, i couldn't play around with them that much (that is, installing software, much customizing etc).

Now that my Touchpad said 'good riddance' to the trainwreck webOS (or rather it's very under-supported software availability/lack of features), i could ("not", yes i could but) be happier with CyanogenMod 10 (4.1.2) but it is really good enough for me now.

Being able to choose applications / tools of your choice, from vast offers, really makes a difference. Of course, the task switching / process freezing / reloading still sucks hairy b*lls, even if i have installed that webCM mod.

(And i love the Hacker's keyboard. No Swype or similar dreck for me)
I've had the touchpad on CM9 nightlys since June and I'm on the current 12/30/12 nightly. It's just been "meh" to me. Nothing special, lacks real multitasking, uses more battery then webOS, and the list goes on... I do use it, for browsing, that's about it these days.
