The problem with XMMS is that it doesn't use the normal GUI of your desktop, so IT is unintuitive. No one wants two have two cars with completely different controls.
Personally, I also prefer an iTunes/Amarok/Rhythmbox interface. I find that MUCH more intuitive, and much easier to manage and play music with. I agree though on Mono etc; it's completely insane to build a music player in mono, unless that's what the whole desktop uses as it's direct API layer. Otherwise, it's just bloat.
