Sorry for the internet slang, I had to use the "b" and "2" to fit all that content into one line.
Anyway, when I saw Core Animation, and the guy said "front row like interface" the first thing that popped into my skull was VLC NEEDS A FACELIFT
So what do the developers think? Seriously not only does the UI of VLC for OS X suck, but the UX (User Experiance) is severly lacking
Don't get me wrong, VLC does what it's supposed to do fantastically, but isn't the standard most Mac applications go for. They want to look good too.
