I use XMMS.
Why?
It just feels right to me. I've tried alot of others, and I make sure that I
try them for at least a week. But in the end, I have always ended up with
XMMS. Either for the feel, for the plugin's etc.
Would I be upset if it was taken from the distro?
yes
Would I be upset if it was taken from the main menu?
No.
I do think it's a little confusing to have both in the main menu. I think a
new user would be happy with Rhythmbox. I think also that a user that is
already used to XMMS and wants to play it, is going to go for that extra
effort to find it.
So my final 2 cents worth is yes, pull xmms from the main menu, and even from
being installed by default if that is needed. Just don't take it from the
distribution.
