Thank you for an amazing piece of software that I use daily! I got a question I've been wondering about.
When I first encountered VLC, most other popular media players had very embellished UIs with tons of chrome and bitmaps everywhere. Apart from superior performance and format support, VLC stood out by being unapologetically minimalist and basic in its interface. Was that intentional? And were you ever tempted to go the same route UI-wise as other media players?
I'm sure glad you didn't!

If you suck at UI, hide your UI. :) Else, we're working on updating the UI, but that's very difficult for a small open source team. And that's going to make a lot of people unhappy, so we're working on options to get the old look possible :)
