HTC One with stock Android

I really find this great news and I'm very tempted. The - in my opinion - crappy UI that comes with Samsung's Galaxy smartphones made me switch to HTC but even with the HTC One X I had a couple of things that bugged me. Most importantly the fact that it doesn't run the latest available Android version and never will.

I wonder, though, if offering the HTC One and later the Galaxy S4 with stock Android is just a move by the smartphone vendors to get those nagging nerds - myself included - of their backs. Especially since they tend to be very vocal. I'm sure the average smartphone customer doesn't know or care about software versions as long as everything works as it should.
