I think MPlayer is wery much in the spirit of unix, and I also think 
that we shouldn't make 'grep' to be more user-friendly.

After all, there's xine for newbies, that's true.

I sometimes buy one russian computer magazine called 'hacker' :). This 
is extremely lame magazine, with some pretty funny articles to read 
sometimes (like potentionally non working program listings and so on). 
Last issue was mainly about linux. Not only they discussed how to make 
a linux system more secure (the article was stolen from somewhere and 
brushed up, it talked about 2.0 kernel and gave smart advices like for 
using shadowed passwords, which arent used by default in all major 
distribs), but they also made a rewiew of linux video players. MPlayer 
was something they don't quite liked ("smells like very 
unfinished..."), and the overall decision was about linux' media 
players aren't as good as windows' ones and luck many 
important/convinient features :). This obviously shows their lameness 
once again :))))
