I've been using CyanogenMod since 7.0.0-rc1 on my Nexus One.
On the plus side, it really is amazingly configurable, looks better and feels faster/more responsive than stock Android 2.2, comes with a terminal emulator and a pretty decent FM radio app, and best of all, it lets you use the camera flash as a super-bright flashlight! (the stock firmware doesn't allow that).
On the minus side - battery life is on average worse than with stock Android 2.2; I've had it corrupt my SD card's filesystem on one occasion (fixed using fsck.vfat on my desktop machine); and on another occasion, the screen started becoming intermittently corrupt (fixed by a hard reboot, i.e. pulling out the battery).

There are apps that let you use the camera flash as a flashlight on the stock ROM -- TeslaLED is quite good.

I've noticed that since updating my n1 to gingerbread (stock) the battery life has gone down so it may not be cyanogenmod.

On my HTC Desire (GSM), battery life has been a lot better with CM7 than with the Android 2.2 + HTC Sense that it came with.
I quite like CM7, though I agree that the configurability can make it overwhelming.
