Rooting mine as we speak!

Oh noes. There's a way around anything on a phone. Secretly the phone manufacturers love xda, they do the work for the phone companies basically. I mean, the atrix with a locked bootloader was rooted before the phone was even officially released. It just takes some trial and error.

I've got all the stuff to root mine right now, I just haven't done it since it requires a flash back to older firmware.

Which device do you have?

I rooted my Thunderbolt through adb the night it released, same with my old Org. Droid

I like to run different roms than stock because of all the damn Bloatware that carriers put on these phones.

I rooted my evo, then unrooted, not much of anything requires it. Doesn't really bother me at all. It's not like an iPhone where you simply must to get the full enjoyment.
