How good is HTC with updates and support

I'm thinking about getting this phone. How good is HTC when it comes to supports and updates? Are they one of the companies that drops support after a year of device life or do they continue to support it with updates for a few years?

Alos is it easy to update the official ROM with root and s-off or are there weird requirements/steps to update when you're rooted?

Thanks
