I can easily set up MediaPortal in 20 minutes. After the first time you install it, subsequent times go much more smoothly. The question itself is an unfair one, I think, considering XBMC only has to target one hardware setup, where MediaPortal needs to work on thousands of configurations. I think you underestimate the advantage that gives to XBMC. And out of all the things you had problems with, only one of the four was something that XBMC could actually do (the Picture slideshow).

Personally I hope that MediaPortal never gets to the point where features are frozen. I hope to see continuous improvement and new features/plugins being developed for a long time yet.
