Except that adding songs to the play queue is incredibly easy. My use case for RB is that I sit down with my fairly large library and want to play a varied assortment of music, hardly ever the same playlist from day to day. I've bound Ctrl+T to "Add to Play Queue" so I select a song/album and hit Ctrl+T. Lather. Rinse. Repeat as necessary (usually a lot). Adding songs to a playlist is not even nearly as simple. That's why using Banshee, at least for me, is incredibly more awkward.
