''Totem is a huge improvement in the usability of Linux [MediaPlayer]s. Jamie Zawinski [rant | http://www.jwz.org/doc/linuxvideo.html] about Linux video players was harsh, but many of the points are valid. Xine's user interface is a disaster. Xine should be enough to convince people "skinning" of applications are a huge MisFeature, as are interfaces that try to look like DVD players. Totem (at the time of writing) is not ready for PrimeTime, but it is a promising application.'' --SimonCrosby
At the time of update, it's pretty bloody close to ready for primetime, and will become the [GNOME] media player of choice come 2.6, when [GStreamer] goes 1.0. It is also in GNOME 2.2 (and in Debian Testing and Unstable), and is one of the few (only?) video players for GNOME.
