RoF has had a long time to develop and the community is very positive and pro-active. People there are behind the product despite its' shortcomings (and it does have them).
I believe that CloD has the potential to be for WW2 what RoF is for WW1 in a few years time. Anyone who wants to see that potential of CloD should look at Freycinets' videos which do a marvelous job of displaying the unedited game. They show a fairly stable and good quality product so the foundation is there.
As I've mentioned elsewhere, all it requires is polish, bug-zapping, proper external sounds, AI revision and game-modes for SP and MP which do the games' features justice.
When I upgrade form my 9800GT to a GTX460 I'll be considering buying it on the strength of what I've seen in Freycinets' videos alone...
BUT
I wont commit until the development team addresses the core issues which seem to have been carried over from 1946. AI, Sounds, game modes (campaign).
I also want to see the devs listening to the community and interacting to find solutions and improvements. Things become a lot more positive when you know that somebody is listening and the tone of the forums here might lift a little if the posters felt like they were being acknowledged. (I'm not saying every post should get a response but a little personal touch here and there where it counts would be a boon for PR)
