I like Android (the AOSP) in itself, but I very much dislike how Google ships it with a lot of their own (proprietary) apps that can't be uninstalled (the usual way).

Some of Google's features may be nice, but I don't want them to track me and get all my private data from my phone.

I'm using CyanogenMod without all the Google apps. It's nice, but the experience just isn't as nice as you have it with Google-Android. Most of the features could be done without tracking users, however.

I also use CyanogenMod without Google Apps, albeit using MultiROM so I can boot into vanilla Android if I need to.
