I've not got a N4 yet but it will be interesting to know which is preferred. On my Note the clear winner is CM with stability, battery life and performance. Obviously AOSP has more customisations but performance is sacrificed.
CM seems less popular here with people going with PAC or PA. Maybe CM is more infantile here?

on a legacy platform cm rules everything and nothing touches it. most other roms will either base on cm completely or depend on its build trees.
this is nexus, we get source, drivers, kernels and vendor blobs
directly from google. developers can just start programming - no one needs to hack through locked bootloaders or bs like that. it reverses the rules, aosp roms will be popular ofc because they are usually faster up to date, have less fallouts and bring more features.
Your question doesn't really make sense. CM is AOSP. All ROMs are based off AOSP.
yes, but you got to stretch it to make room for hundreds of incompatible devices that want a slice of google android. much of it you can branch out, some of it you have to mix into the android sourcebase. theres more weight to it and greater responsibility.
