I agree with Pecinko, if you cycle, you can't easily go back. I was wondering about the non-cycling at first but now I prefer it to the alternative, which would be messy.
Speaking for myself, I use favourites to get handy shortcuts on the home screen.
Under music I have years and artists, under tv shows I have links to video addons that show missed shows and the like and I use it a lot to have different tv channels I have in livestreams to show up under "Live TV" (a renamed pictures, which I don't use). If anything, I'd like more favourites on the home screen.
I wasn't aware of favourites being used in the way you're saying, and you're not referring to playlists are you? As far as I knew the favourites.xml was fairly basic and you pretty much just populate the favourites menu by adding items to it via the context menu. The playlists are where things can get quite advanced.
On a side note for Pecinko, were any changes made in Quartz3 for the Apple Remote? Big skip forward doesn't seem to work, maybe this is another thing I needed to custom add back in.
