Why are the mobile versions (Windows) looking so nice, displaying cover art... and the OS X version looks like from the 90s I would really like to ditch iTunes, but iTunes is just nicer and easier to manage. Apart from that... I love you VLC :) Edit: What The F*???!! I just googled out of curiosity for screenshots of the windows version: http://www.neowin.net/news/new-vlc-windows-8-screenshots-show-revamped-ui http://www.neowin.net/news/new-vlc-windows-8-screenshots-sho... When is this going to come to OS X?

Not that it necessarily matters but I believe this is only the "appified" version for WinRT and "Metro" apps. The regular version that would be the analogue of the OSX version still looks like the classic, barebones VLC of yore.

Well, it's mostly because we are waaaaay more organised and focused than before and we're focusing on the mobile for now... But it will change later this year or early next.

  I get it... mobile is big, but what is the reason to not invest any time into the look and feel of the regular version?

    lack of resources? We're volunteers with no money...

Personally not a fan of the Windows look. Looks like the old Zune player to me. I prefer the classic look.
