You gotta understand the issue here is deeper than being a fanboy. The issue is simply choice. Motorola doesn't give you a lot of choice and pisses people off. With the Nexus you'll have full control to do whatever you want (roms AND kernels, etc). And if you don't root and rom, you're still getting your updates before anyone else. With the Bionic, Razr and all other Motorola devices sans the OG Droid, you don't get full control. Sure you can run custom roms, but that crappy battery life - sorry you're stuck with it because they won't let you change the kernel. Also, some how manufacturer estimates on software upgrades always seems to take much longer than they initially estimate, so don't necessarily assume ICS is coming when you want it. Anyway, I personally don't have anything against Moto devices. They're great for a lot of people. If it works for you, that's great! Unfortunately, they don't work for me and a lot of others because power users prefer full control.
So what your saying is that:
Verizon = The Matrix (holding us prisoner)
Motorola = Agent Smith (Helps keep us locked down)
Google = The Oracle (The light that hopes to leads us to our destiny)
Galaxy Nexus = Morpheus holding the red pill and the blue pill (The one who finally offers us the choice)
ICS = Zion (Giant Cave Techno Rave Party??)
