I agree that there is no regression from a user point of view in 0.5.0. But 
I must say that I also had the secret hope that 0.5.0 could make enough an 
impact that some developers would move from xine or mplayer to vlc. I don't 
see this happening right now because we've got nothing more than these 2 
players. IMHO, what is really missing right now in vlc to attract more 
users/developpers is a really nice user interface. More specifically we 
miss interfaces that are friendly to power users as well as casual users.

But I also do understand that adding these features will take quite some 
time.
