The UX.

The functionality is great, and like you said, it can play pretty much anything. But the UX feels like it's stuck in the late 90s, and the following are more ugly and painful than they need to be:

  • playlists
  • streaming
  • converting file types

It can do a ton of stuff, but none of it is particularly intuitive, because the UX sucks. But it works great at the basic functionality I need, which is playing pretty much any video format.
