I agree that it is best to keep it until it is not working anymore. If
somebody voluntarily forks it and keeps it working it is really nice.
Smtube & get_flash_videos do not fill the gap of Minitube as they will
not give a continuous sortable playlist. From that list you can delete
unwanted items. You can also sort it according to upload date among
other. This with a continuous playlist is a great feature when you have
kids and you need to keep them distracted for a while. It is also nice
if you want to listen to some music.

It seems Minitube's license changed from GPLv3 to a proprietary one.
Since version 2.1 (released on Jun 28 2013), it has become a
closed-source, binary-only software only available on the Ubuntu
Software Center:

So long Minitube and thanks for all the videos :(
Well, as long as 2.1 works, let's keep it.
it won't work for long. youtube keep changing every few months.
It's not _that_ bad, youtube support in get-flash-videos only got
totally broken by YT changes something like 2 times in 2 years..
I haven't checked but I don't recall many updates to libquvi
either. It's a bit easier than minitube (which also has to handle
search) but can't be that difficult.
And hey, it shouldn't be THAT hard to track youtube-dl.
There's *nothing* that prevents us from doing that.
i am amazed at the guys who release youtube-dl almost daily.
That's not all for youtube changes. Though their screen scraper
does seem a bit more brittle than some.
