Interesting post from a logic point of view. Lets analyze it.

1st premise:

True for allnameswereout and other GNOME purists.

2nd premise:

What basis do we have to say it works great? How do we know this is true? How does it compare to VLC, for example?

Conclusion:

The conclusion has absolutely no connection with the premises expressed, as expressed.

Let me see if I can expressed what the poster really meant.

1st premise:
I am a GNOME purist and therefore do not use Qt apps.

2nd premise:
Totem is good enough for me and therefore I don't need to see what is available on the Qt side.

Conclusion:
VLC is a Qt app and therefor is is useless to me.

Now, that is a logicaly valid argument.
