  I'm surprised anyone still does. Unfortunately that was deeply tied into the Mozilla stack, and they didn't want to be a platform vendor, so just running an old version isn't really tenable. (To bring things back on topic, I believe a couple of people involved in Songbird was previously related to Winamp.)

  Yes. It was a pig for resources and altogether miserable to use.

  Yes, I was working in Silicon Valley for a company that was also using Mozilla technologies. I remember the XULRunner meetups with them, in Mozilla HQ where the Moz people were basically saying: - OK, our product is Firefox. We focus on fixing bugs that affect Firefox, so if the bug in XULRunner doesn't affect it you're on your own. Feel free to send a patch. - Yeah we did that, the patch have been sitting in Bugzilla for 2 years - ... shrug Anyway even with full support of Mozilla they probably wouldn't have survived to iTunes+iPod, but clearly using a technology that the vendor has no interest in didn't help them.
