So, I got a look at Marshmallow on the HTC One A9 (via a review, I didn't actually put my hands on one) and while it still has Sense-themed Settings, it has the AOSP-like Quick Toggles like you'd see on a Nexus/Moto phone. And Flashlight is a stock toggle.
Can't really say much more about it. It's still the same soft keys, but if you have root and an app like SoftKeyZ (paid) or a ROM like ViperOne, you can change them to whatever you like (I use the AOSP set). The video didn't show BlinkFeed, but the Prism/BlinkFeed launcher looks to be about the same.
Nice to see HTC getting closer and closer to AOSP, as long as they keep the features, like rearranging the toggles (which is in stock Marshmallow, but it's somewhat hidden, I think you long-press the settings gear above the quick toggles to enable it).
So here's hoping we actually get the update... they're still saying we're getting it, but they said we were getting 5.1 as well. If we do get it, the One M8 will have been a well supported phone, having used Android 4, Android 5, and Android 6 (even though Marshmallow was originally 5.2).
