I guess, with how powerful it is, and how small of a bundle it is, I’ve never had any reason not to use it. I’ve never opened media files from a command line, personally. The ‘Swiss army knife’ approach is why I love VLC - the knowledge I can throw literally any file at it and it will just open is very satisfying. iTunes/QuickTime just don’t make that cut, even with Perian. (is that still a thing?)
