I wouldn't call it clunky and slow, it is just meant to be used from a tv. It's like saying steam big picture mode is clunky if you use it with mouse and keyboard. Kodi has a good api, although there are no good web interfaces yet, I have been also contemplating trying to build a cli around it

It depends what hardware you are running Kodi on. I was running OpenElec on a raspberry pi, it was pretty much unusable for me. When I opened Kodi, the scan for new media would take ages, and often not work at all. Now I had a dedicated Windows 10 HTPC with an SSD, and the experience is night and day versus the rpi.
