That is OPINION. I like Xine's UI. I also like the ogle gui. I relly
like that I'm not forced to use it. A replacement could be developed
that I might like better. I have no problem deling with multiple
toolkits. I work with GNOME, GTK+, Motif, and Xt based apps all the
time. I have NO problems using any of them.
It's great to have variety, but there are some technical issues with
apps that don't use the standard toolkits that lead us to prefer
toolkit-using apps as the defaults.
Some of these are a11y, i18n, etc.:

Anyway, just something to keep in mind.
