Humm... everytime I look at Clover I get the the feeling that something simple has been made very complex. I do not intend to get involved with it and will do old school Chameleon if necessary on Yosemite.
Just my two cents.

Hi neilhart,
i understand what you're saying and yeh MacTester57's Clover install (great write up BTW) is very complex. Mine on the other hand is not. This i probably because i'm only using Intel HD4000 graphics, a DSDT(which is optional) and a few mandatory kexts in my Clover EFI partition. All other tweaks are done via config.plist and i am good to go. I followed this Tonymac Clover guide
My system boots in UEFI mode (29secs from power on to login screen) and presents no problems with App Store, iCloud, iMessage and Face Time (issues that are common to Chameleon). Also has a Recovery HD partition (handy for Time Machine, Disk Utility, Install OSX, etc,.) and no need to re-install kext after a version update thanks to Clover kext patching on the fly.
MacTester57 is right when he said that "it’s the way to go for every new Hackintosh!", i hope that you change your mind and apply Clover to some of those excellent mods you've featured
