I'm currently running CM10 on my Galaxy Nexus.
It's fairly easy to flash a custom ROM. You just need to flash a compatible recovery image first (grab the latest clockwordmod recovery).
Check this out. Google a tutorial if you're not sure how to root your phone.

I used Cyanogen Mod back on droid 2.4.
It was VERY easy to install and worked great. Very few bugs. Very refined OS. Highly recommended if you're planning on using a 3rd party ROM.
Now I just root and use the stock one. They've incorporated enough features now that I dont see the need for it anymore.
Yeah, if you're using a Nexus device (like I am) or something that runs stock Android, it's not really necessary any more. I still use CyanogenMod, though, because I get better battery life, as it's essentially just a stripped down version of the stock firmware.
It's a necessity (imo) if you're using a device whose stock firmware has an overlay (TouchWiz/Motorblur/HTC Sense).
