I can think of several reasons...  all being reasons I chose to write
SlimRoku instead of RokUPnP.    
- *An active, open-source, developer community*
- Ability to control playback from the web interface
- Extensive, (relatively) easy to use, APIs for communication between
  client and server
- Cover art support
- A full plug-in architecture
- On-the-fly transcoding
- Built-in support for multiple internet radio servicesAnd several more I can't 
think of right now...
