Mainstream phone like Samsung definitely easier to flash ROM and more choices, especially Samsung using Odin to flash...
BUT, ask yourself how often you flash ROM?
For me I only flash to get a clean and smoother ROM rather than the stock bloated ROM, after that I wouldn't bother much already. So for me even though its not at straight forward to flash as mainstream phones, I don't mind cuz I just need to do it once.
Lenovo is still much easier to flash rom (row) , if flash via cWM
once u got Root via framaroot, flash cwm img from mobileuncle.
place slxrom.zip in sd card.
there u go , reboot to recovery .
while for Samsung, you need to flash CF-root, get rid of triangle ,etc etc , beware of flash counter etc.
