Rooting
Why root?
It gives you full control over your system and able to alter system files. You can also install many custom ROMs available online. Here are 5 among many other reasons to root your device:

what is the different between Root, Unlock, and S-Off?
Root is to give you superuser permission of your phone so you can modify the system like changing roms etc.
Unlock I assume is for branded phones locked to the carrier.
S-off is to give you full root. Basically turning off the security flag implemented in the boot loader.
About memory problem, got many ways to overcome. A2SD, D2W etc that is included by the rom developers.

hazril,
I suggest to put this on F.A.Q:
Low storage for apps? (GSM ONLY)
Flash the AlphaRev HBOOT Bravo N1Table (Require S-OFF)
Follow this instrunction for update without data lost (aka no data wipe)
Still low storage for apps?
Install an A2SD solution: Firerat or Darktremor
i recommend the Firerat solution: CM specific, less space usage 25kb vs 6mb, bind mount, no boot loop, auto restore after cm rom update (from 1.35b)
