XBMC is an amazing application, and the devs are awesome for doing it, but saying "any bug will get fixed" is really far off-base. These guys aren't being paid, this is their hobby, so they work on stuff that they personally care about. WMV playback has been broken since 2008, forcing me to use an external player. The devs have zero interest in fixing it. And that's OK, because again they aren't being paid, but it also means that certain aspects of the application don't get the attention they rightly deserve.

Funny how this thread is old, but a lot of the gripes were fixed. I know I had these same gripes when trying to pick between XBMC but they were fixed quite fast.

One new feature in the plex ecosystem is the plex web feature which lets you manage and watch your content in any browser interface including iOS (for free).
Another, which does require a mobile app (iOS or android) is the option to synchronize content for offline viewing. That does require a paid subscription but great for portable content when you can't be online.

XBMC = Media Player and a good one at that
Plex = Media ecosystem which is where XBMC falls flat
In a world with so many screens Plex shines at delivering content to all your devices no matter where you are in the world. I didn't even know there was a Plexbmc. It could have saved me some time messing with mysql which I just got rid of.

Plex = good at sharing your media over the internet.
XBMC isn't far behind on this... some cool things are in the pipes.
Even the local network stuff is getting really good. I don't even touch MySQL anymore, and what is in
nightly builds (wiki) is only part of what is to come as far as multiple "client" features.

The essential part for Internet sharing is transcoding, and that's one of the GSoC projects:

Other parts are needed too, but that's the big one, from what I'm told.
