Is that really a fair question? This has fewer features sure, but should it really have to have equal to or more to even be worth looking at?

This looks clean and simple to manage and would cover my needs perfectly.

I don't think asking for a comparison to a current offering is a bad question. It doesn't mean both can't exist. Although this kind of reminds me of Xbox Media Center (XBMC) vs Xbox Media Player (XBMP).

At this point I'm willing to give up control over my media for convenience though so maybe my opinion is invalid. I remember spending hours organizing my mp3 collection. Forget that.

edit: Apparently XBMC is now Kodi so it actually is a direct competitor.

I thought Kodi was a fork of XBMC?

XBMC was renamed to Kodi.
