I used MIUI for a while back in 2010. I used to help do some of the releases and English translations for the HTC Incredible. I ran MIUI.us for a while. Eventually I migrated over to CM7 when it launched and pretty much stayed with CyanogenMod for the next several years. I ran AOKP a little because I liked Roman and I ran ParanoidAndroid a bit for fun, but I always came back to CM. I was friends with many of the CM devs and hung out with a lot of them, so it was an easy choice.
