Hello!

I just got my Atrix and I'm hating Motoblur. Can it be removed easily, if at all? Because I would love to have stock Android.

I suggest you unlock the bootloader and flash cyanogenmod if you have the technical know-how. Motoblur has multiple functions in the system, and even "De-Blurred" roms that you find still have some pieces left to avoid breaking some features. Removing blur pieces yourself is possible (although I wouldn't do it to an already flashed rom), but the outcome will still not be as clean as a De-blur rom, and nowhere near as clean as cyanogenmod.

Ah, okay. I was wishing I could get stock Android on it, but I realized that CyanogenMod was better. I'd just have to find a Gingerbread theme for it and it would be very close to the stock experience.

There are "de-blurred" versions of the stock rom floating around out there. Just do a google search and you should be able to find a couple.

For now, I've got ADW.Launcher as a workaround. It's better then Motoblur's launcher, but I'm probably gonna root and install CM later this year.

There is no stock Android for any phones other than the Nexus phones.  All other phones have some sort of manufacturer specific things to them.

Motorola has Blur
Samsung has TouchWiz
HTC has Sense

Those are just the UI though.  Those can easily be replaced by one of the many Launchers out there.  ADW launcher, GO Launcher, Launcher 7, Launcher Pro among the many more available.  I have never seen nor heard of a pure ASOP Android on anything but the Nexus phones cause there isnt driver support for the devices.  Things like the Atrix require drivers for the Camera, FingerPrint scanner and so on.  Those drivers are not available with the stock Android Rom which is why there has to be ROM like Cyanogen done that uses these things.  I know that there is a Deoxed ROM out there that will get you as close to stock as possible.

It runs an older version of Gingerbread than CM offers, so it is up to you to choose which is better.  I prefer to stay on the latest version possible.
