here are taste can be different. For me XBMC/Kodi never was beautiful or easy to use, I really never liked it too much. I've used it on some devices and still using it on my Raspberry Pi, but only because I can't use MP2 there...

Can't tell this exactly, especially as I don't know your personal taste. But it will bring at least LiveTV via DLNA that afaik no other solution does.

Personally I like the DLNA way because different devices with different OS can use different software for different purposes but with the same media library and all is working hand in hand... If I want to hear music I play it directly on my AVR (over Ethernet), that is stored on a self made mini- NAS based on a Banana Pi running Open Media Vault and controlled from my Android tablet with BubbleUPnP... For this the embedded cover is enough "bling". As opposite, if I want to watch a blockbuster on the big screen (ok, isn't that big, only 42") I definitely prefer it the MP2 way with lots of "bling":

So different software for different purposes is completely fine for me. But I definitely would prefer to have all media centralized and served from a single program. And this has to be MP2 for sure and I'm happy it will be in future..
