For me, the ability to customize the informational fields in the playlist, and having those fields on one line. Just from visual scanning perspective, if I want to quickly see last played time on 1.x or iTunes, I can just draw my eye straight down one column. Even if I rip out a field in 2.x and add that field back, It's going to be "scan your eye down the list, discarding irrelevant field", since each track has multiple rows of metadata.

Does it play music? Sure does, and I love the applet zooming features too, it's just that one playlist issue with me, and the fact that "random repopulate" only gives 10 tracks instead of 50, but that's another easy fix + recompile away I guess for me.
