Fiqhi issues such as where the hands go, shoulder to shoulder, feet straight is all according to the suunah, so no matter what madhab (school of thought) you follow in salah there are going to be differences of opinion.
But to say that you don't recite Darood Shareif after your at-taahiyaat and tashshud (when you point to the ka'baa with your index finger) is basically denying the prophet's (saw) tareeqah in performance in salah.
Example, we follow the sunnah- or we would like to follow the sunnah of the holy prophet (saw), if he (saw) prayed without reciting Darood Shareif, which doesn't bear even thinking about may allah (swt) forgive me then why do so many muslims pray reciting Darood Shareif. The holy prophet (saw) taught us how to pray and in what order. The differences in opinion come in the physical performance of salah.
It's like saying well God is great isn't he and that's it, rationally it doesn't make sense if he (swt) created mankind and jinn to worship him alone, and the most gifted man ever to exist is sent to us as a plain warner and clear manifestation of providing Ilm then brother you're treading very dangerous ground and you need to get that book checked out.
As for the believer who has the problem in the first instance, don't just take my word for it, check it out for yourself. The holy prophet (saw) said in a sahih hadith that, and I am paraphrasing, go to china if you have to seek knowledge.
May Allah Forgive Us And Help Us Inshallah

JazakAllah khair for your responce. One correction that needs to be made is that there are various aspects in the salaah that have ikhtilaaf (differences) on. Some are related to the physical actions and others are related to what is recited.
So as an example, some mujtahid have said that you do not have to recite surah Fatiha behind the imam (Imam Abu Hanifa) and others have said that it is obligatory to recite fatiha behind the imam (Imam Shafi'e).
So to say that there are differences in the physical actions only is not correct.
I myself believe that it is obligatory to recite durood and without it the salaah is not valid but at the same time I do not say that the other imams are doing kufr. This is because this issue is open to different opinions.
Wassalaam
