I don't understand the negativity. Am I using the same VLC 1.x as everyone else? One that has two different windows, one for controls and one for video, with the one for controls always showing a playlist? If anything, the new design de-emphasizes the playlist and reduces complexity.
Looking forward to it. I used to use Perian, but Lion's Finder does not allow one to not show previews of files anymore. Navigating through a directory of videos with the arrow keys is like walking through a minefield now. Every tap will trigger the preview generation of some bizarre video plugin and before you get to the file you want to watch, something crashes. I keep Perian uninstalled to get rid of the previews now, and use VLC for everything.
