I think the show will be better for not following the books. I enjoyed reading books 4+5, but they were a big comedown after the first 3 books. Hopefully the show avoids the meanderings of those books.
I accept that the show will miss some of GRRM's scenes, but based on what is already in place (the characters and setup), no reason to think the show writers can't do a great job.
Many added scenes for the show have been fantastic, up there with the best book-generated scenes. Cersei/Robert, the chair moving scene, some Littlefinger Varys scenes, Tywin/Arya, Tywin/Joffrey scenes.
