Well why the Hell do you care why I still want to jailbreak. I would simply ask why the hell wouldn't you. Howeber you happy with 5.0 good for you.
Bitesms
BiteSMS is still a more complete SMS APP than Apple's native one.
Why Apple will not include a signature in the native app is beyond me; much the same way as why the wouldn't include a character counter up until 4.0.
With Apple it seems like it's the little annoyances that make you upset.

Seriously...
The best thing is new widgets for notification center!!! Like the RSS widget, the omnistat for ram use and stats, and my favorite: a one click widget to kill all running apps in the multitask bar (WeeKillBackground).
You also have widget task which takes the multitasking bar onto the notification center.
Themes are also important. Open SSH. Camera Locker (camera icon always there on lock screen, way better than having to click two times the home button!!).
Jailbreak is ALWAYS NECESSARY.
Oh, and don't forget emulators!

1) SBSettings
2) Theming (I don't like the stock UI)
3) iFile
4) Little hacks to fix things in iOS 5 that Apple forced on us (like getting rid of the ugly, and for me, useless, NewsStand icon)
However, they did add a few things that replaced some Cydia hacks for me, like LockInfo, Wi-fi Sync...

BiteSMS is the only Jailbroken app I have installed. If the native messaging app let me quick reply when I got a text, I wouldn't be jailbroken at all. I'll cross my fingers for iOS 6.
Having said that, my iPad is now full stock and I don't miss the jailbreak at all.

I still jailbreak because of iBlacklist. Until Apple builds this capability in to the OS, I'll keep jailbreaking.
Appsync for sure. Since Apple disabled my account and will not allow me to open a new one, I have only one option now to update the apps I paid for.
SBSettings
3G Unrestrictor
BiteSMS
Winterboard & Glasklart HD
The colored icons hurt my eyes. Glasklart is still one of my main reason.

Ummm
SBSettings
5/6 icon docks
Gridlock to place app's anywhere on pages
Barrel (gives the borring OS new life when switching pages, mine's set to curl and roll away)
FolderEnhancer to replace the dumb Apple folder system, no more restricted # of apps per folder, and can have folders within a folder (great having a game folder that's organized etc)
Quickscroll is awesome when browsing
Winterboard and all the various theme's on Cydia and from sites online like Macthemes etc. Hell there are complete themes like on Macthemes that don't even resemble iOS, I just saw one the other day that's like having real OS/X installed.

I just downloaded it, freaking awesome having that in the notification center instead of hitting home button twice. Cool find. And yeh there will be a lot off cool widget addon's for notification center/SBS that will be coming out.

Main reason for myself would be to get the gaming emulators that I could play via bluetooth wiimote...
When I first started Jailbreaking I installed lots of Cydia Apps that was at 3.1.3 with each new version of IOS more and more of what I want is in there and the only reason I jailbreak today is to be able to install Untrasn0w and unlock my phone.
SBSettings and tethering are reason enough for me to jailbreak. Is it a dealbreaker for the phone? No, but it certainly is convenient to have.
Tell me more. I'm new to the apple world and I'm an appict™ (word Ive made my own) (1.19.12)
SBSettings is the ONLY reason I JB. Not sure why Apple doesn't include it in their IOS.
Agreed
I am seriously considering jumping ship after my contract is up in a year. Been an iphone user since the original. Could be just getting sick of the same old thing too, it's been quite a few years.
The amazing part is that many jail breakers would be so easily satisfied with some BASIC features that Android has had for years now;
- quick reply options (BiteSMS)
- settings toggles (SBSettings)
- filesystem access (iFile)
But Apple just refuses to provide ...
