The interface is nothing special - the TViX is a small Linux box in
reality.  The display is just the directory structure, but a well
conceived directory structure makes navigation easy. You can assign jpg
images in place of directories though, and if you look through threads
on www.avsforum.com, you will find where somebody wrote a real nice
program to make the interface more apealing. 

As far as stability, I have not had any problems with DVD .iso files. 
I think there are fastforward/rewind issues when playing various file
types like xvid/wmv, but all in all a pretty stable device.

Let me just finish by saying my wife thinks the TViX is aeasier to
navigate through than the squeezebox.
