It's more the fact vlc will play almost anything you throw @ it. And considering mplayer isn't optimized for the n900 yet >.>

There's already a version you can download and try on the N900, but there are several serious problems with it. It is unclear whether it will be coming to the official repositories any time soon.
There's already a thread here about it, and the developer actually posted in that one.

Also, there's an interesting test of supposedly optimised VLC vs supposedly unoptimised mplayer over here. I tried playing some test videos with VLC, with disappointing results, and My-Symbian tried with mplayer, with much better results...

I definitely like vlc. It is my goto choice on the desktop for just about anything I come across. I even like to use it with its stream save option as sort of poor man's tivo for sports and other stuff that is not broadcast locally.

What is the point of 9458515155159 media players? Get me one which is good, which provides a good interface. I don't care about the name. VLC is Qt on Linux desktop, hence I don't use it on my GNOME desktop. Totem works great, and uses Gstreamer. Unless VLC has a good UI its just another media player for Maemo. Which is unfortunate.

Totem works great, and uses Gstreamer.

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.

There's currently no frontend for VLC in Maemo 5. So it is a console app. Both Gnome and KDE have consoles, right?
