The good:
I love this plugin! We have almost entirely switched from watching TV to watching series. The plugin really makes it easy. I recently started using SubCentral as well and the integration is great! I wish I could list all the things I like, so don't think of this as a rant just because this section is shorter.
The bad:
It would be great if the importer could treat "and" and "&" as the same thing, since some episodes might have the ampersand and others have "and" in the names.
Also, it would be great to be able to select episodes (and hopefully rename the files) based on other things than only SxxEyy. This is a problem with for example The Muppet Show where a lot of seasons have a completely different order than thetvdb (because one is from the DVD:s and the other from the aired order). But using the names of the guest stars which are present in the file names, one can match them to the corresponding episode in thetvdb.
Finally, if the series name is missing from the file name, it would be great if the importer would look at the directory path to see if it can find a match one or more parent directories above (ie find Friends for the file "Friends\Season 1\S01E10blahbla.avi").
The ugly:
This is perhaps not a GUI issue but a loading issue, but the banner layout quite often get out of sync and shows the wrong image and/or is missing or has duplicated banners (I use Streamed MP). I have both series and banners on a network share, so it might be some kind of timing problem when loading them.
Regarding the config, I think the start import button could be made more visible. I looked for it a long time before I found it the first time I used the importer. The wide button blends in with the group boxes etc that surrounds it. Instead, make it more like a normal, possibly wizard-like, button.
