Yes. XBMC is so much better that a comparison is just a waste of words. I like the idea but I do think its wasteful of developer time. Nonetheless, the developers do us a favour and are free to work on whichever projects they wish to.

Things that stand out for me about PMC: Ugly, Clunky, no clear add-on system, work in progress. Obviously the work in porgress nature is a direct result of it being such a young project but I just don't see a need for it going forward.

I tried to install it but I never got the dependencies right, and didn't make a real effort in solving it, this was prior to this release.

I understand what you point at dmeyer, and I agree with you. Somehow I think that PMC aim is to be incorporated into plasma-active which makes more sense. I'm not sure XBMC could be scaled for that purpose.
