What are the benefits of rooting besides free hotspot? Do you think it's worth it?

The battery (Battstatt) and clock (Typoclock) widgets are apps available on the market. The music widget is Music Mod, which is also available on the market, but the .apk was modified to change the appearance (semi-transparent bg). The unlocker is Widgetlocker, but again used a modified apk to change the appearance. I am rooted, though I don't remember if that was necessary in order to install the custom .apks. I'll come back to this post hopefully with the links to point you in the right direction.

EDIT:
Custom Music Mod widget: http://rapidshare.com/files/419798893/MusicGoogle.apk
from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785081

Custom Widgetlocker was a little bit more complex. First, it's a paid app. Second, it requires some work. You'll find everything you need to know here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825553

You can install custom roms that people have gone through and modified to make it look and run much smoother than stock. You can install custom kernels that also improve performance greatly. you can do free hotspot as you pointed out. really it's all about control. rooting, and android in general, makes so many things possibly with your phone and you can really make it YOUR phone.

Today I just dumped my Iphone a got a HTC Inspire 4G (AT&T). This is pretty much a EVO 4G. I love it. No time to play with it today. What are some good apps to start with?
