Have you seen the new release with the confluence skin? It's really beautiful. I prefer Boxee just because it has the internet channels built in. I wish there was more participation when it comes to plugins. The stuff that boxee has could easily be made for XBMC.

I am still on a bit older version. I run T3CH builds, I plan to update to new release, I've only seen screenshots on the site. Since I have some free time now I'm using it constantly, don't want to mess up something if I don't have to.

Also, those streaming media "plugins", "scripts" - call them what you want, are indispensable... I can watch youtube, academic earth, demoscene tv, g4tv and many many others on my tv with remote in my hand - this is what internet tv should look like IMO. I also have IPTV installed, it feels rather similar to on-demand stuff on it.

the launcher app is pretty damn cool since you can then have it run some outside apps but still use an XBMC live installation. it's still shaky when switching to full screen. there needs to be a quality app store for XBMC like there is for Boxee.
