Why?

How is this really any different from Rhythmbox/Gstreamer? It just seems like another UI stuck on top of Gstreamer, except with the additional bloat of Mono. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I still can't figure out why programs like Banshee, Rhythmbox, Amarok, Juk, et al, are considered to be so great. To me, they all seem slow and clunky and non-intuitive. I also never have a few weeks of unbroken time to sit down and listen to 1000 MP3s, so I don't see the point of the huge playlist managers - use XMMS or Beep and get a life.
