I'd vote for VLC if they would finally implement 'only one instance' and don't drop the xvwindows interface for a QT-based one. Than we would have one application for both audio and video with good codec support and simple player + playlist interface. > 3rd. get rid of gxine and go with mplayer with optimal settings > (gmusicbrowser can use mplayer as its backend) also only player that > plays apples movie trailers. > VLC... > 4. grip - for lightweight cd player & ripper > Way too many Gnome dependencies > 5. hacburn - for lightweight cd burning (since xfburn doesnt work for > most things) > > 6. claw-mail - for lightweight email client (with a couple plugins and > the tango theme installed) > Fast application, many features, but looks really unattractive and difficult to configure... Maybe later?
I'd like to think in what a user wants, then find the most appropriate application for it. A user would probably like to: * Listen to audio -> VLC * Watch a video -> VLC * Read mail -> Thunderbird or Claws * Edit a home video -> Kino * Synchronise my mobile phone/PDA -> ??? / OpenSync (once it get's a good interface) * Type a letter -> Abiword/Openoffice * Manage finances -> Gnucash * Browse the web -> Firefox * Look at pictures -> gqview * Burn a cd -> ??? / Brasero (I currently use NeroLinux 3 with my 'old' Windows Nero 6 license!) ...etc...
