With all due respect to tiben's and blinkeb's incredible work, DSPlayer is probably as far removed from XBMC's philosophy as anything that's ever been supported by XBMC.
When you start messing with DirectShow filters you know you are asking for trouble. It can be perfected, it can be simplified, but you are removed from a "ready out of the box" experience which has always been XBMC's goal.
Am I happy to see DSPlayer developed? Definitely so. I'm sure lots of people will enjoy it. Would I like that to be the only way XBMC for Windows would go? Surely not. If I had to choose between the two, I'd always prefer to stay with the "built in" approach. The one that DSPlayer can't apparently provide (unless we are talking about a major fork in development, which I don't see happening).
