Yes, reverting is pretty easy, at leat it was on my HTC Desire... First, there's the rooting process. In my case, I was instructed to use 'unrevoked' something. The rooting process itself doesn't change much in terms of experience. What it does do is give you the option to backup everything on your phone, including the OS. That, in itself, is a major advantage of being rooted. There's some additional options for 'install to sd' as well.
Next, you can opt to flash a new OS to the phone. I chose Leedroid which basically mimics the Desire's touch and feel. You can pick and choose though. Being rooted allows you to create back points. Making sense of all of this isn't easy in practice though. Finding the most recent 'ROM' for your phone isn't as easy as it should be.
