I would say getting the Nexus - you get the best of both.”
I didnt agree with you that its bad. I said "Touchwiz maybe bad". I havent used it in anger to say one way or the other. However whether touchwiz is good or bad is surely a personal preference. You may not like it, which is fair enough, but others may love it.
I dont quite agree with your "you shouldnt have to" logic either. I certainly wouldnt have held of buying my S3, just because of touchwiz (assuming for arguments sake it was total rubbish). I knew I could change it, so why would I let something like that stop me from buying a Samsung phone? The installed software may not be to your liking, but its not the end of the world. I am surprised with your logic, you bought any apple product, as with them if you dont like something, tough you are stuck with it.
I agree, having a nexus device would mean you get updates quicker. Which can be a good or bad thing, depending on the quality of the releases. Thankfully with google they are generally very good. However if you are (a vast majority of android users are not) into rooting/flashing roms, then this is also a moot point. As you can the latest software, as soon google release it (or within a few days).
I can see why some people get annoyed having to wait months before their carrier provides them with Jelly Bean update, however that is something you accept when you buy a non-nexus device.
If I do get the Nexus 10, it will be my first Nexus device. Whilst I root my devices, I am not sure I will gain much from the main point of having a nexus device...the very quick update. As I can get this anyway. However I am still looking forward to getting one (as long as its as good as it seems on paper).
