Default Is the Touchwiz integration to Vanilla Android as deep as Sense?

I know this is a question but there is no Vibrant Q&A forum so i decided to post it here.

But to elaborate on my question, Sense has a deep integration with the vanilla android system, the framework is heavily modified and its hard and some say impossible to use a lot of things from sense on non-sense roms. So I was wondering, is touchwiz integrated that deeply over android? I heard the 2.2 Update to this phone would make it easier for samsung to make updates so I dont think it is as deep as sense, but I wanna know for sure because i think itd be cool if we could mix certain aspects of vanilla with touchwiz. Like if we could remove the bottom 4 shortcut apps, add a vanilla lockscreen, vanilla music widget and app, but still maintain the functionality of touchwiz such as the notification pull down with the integrated settings toggle and music controls.
Opinions?

Default This one might be easier than you think.

pretty sure they want this is General Q&A, you can use LauncherPro Beta, or ADW, which will give you the Vanilla Home style, however no samsung widgets, they suck anyways. your contacts will still integrate with twitter and fuk face, i mean face fuk, i mean face book...sorry. Buy Beautiful widgets and LockBot Pro from Market and your all set. mostly.

well it has some development implications and gives ideas to rom developers too so idk if a mod is irritated by this post i dont mind if its moved to general lol.

yeah Im aware of all those apps and those launchers, but I was wondering if there was a way to integrate the samsung apps with vanilla android, and use the stock vanilla lockscreen and music widgets into an actual rom.

truth be told i don't even care, so why did i say something in the first place...i'm an asshole...hopefully i can call myself an asshole...anywho, I agree, like some things about the touch**** i mean touchwiz, and the stock build. i would like to add some sense in there too...mix it all up and hopefully wind up with cm6.

lmao haha it aint a big deal haha

yeah touchwiz and stock mixed would be nice and i think CM6 could do that but idk abt the sense stuff. maybe well have sense roms but not from cyanogen and idk if itd be possible to mix sense with anything really, plus i dont like sense phones or roms because of their lack of bluetooth functionality. I bought the vibrant cuz i wanna use the wiimote via bluetooth to play my snes gba and sega games on my tv lol

TW Launcher blows, so use ADW - which incorporates TW and Sense - def the best Home replacement. U wont be missing the Samsung Widgets, they ****in suck.

The TW Lockscreen is amazing, dont know why u want to use the original. It is like the Sense LS that displays info, like the music app, which btw is the BEST out of all music players, including 3 (cubed). The puzzle lock is so cool too, looks rly nice (that feature can be turned off btw). And ability to swipe the LS in any direction to unlock is a pleasure to use.
