Uh, why not?

Just look at those screenshots and *then* ask me why not. And, since
you already have and could easily ask again, I'll tell you: That
interface is horrible. How many of those buttons you're looking at do
something useful? And you can't minimize it to your system tray. The
only reason I'd use it is if I couldn't run XMMS locally. There's no
spiffy spectrum analyzer thing doo dad, which I like, and it's
undoubtedly slower reacting than the real XMMS.
Do you disagree?
I don't disagree with you but at the same time there is at least some kind
of interface running. I imagine that with creative use of (buzzword alert)
AJAX and other current web technology that a fairly responsive and (much!)
more attractive user interface could be designed.
