User Experience and Rockbox- A rethink required?
cpu98:
Here goes some my thoughts. :)
I don't need them, but they would be nice.
Rather than tooltip that pops up, tooltip bar would be better.(For small screen or anything)
Of course that bar should be disableable.

Learning to use XBMC requires learning many screens individually, whereas learning Rockbox requires learning list navigation and the existence of the context menu. Other than that, almost every option available is actually in the settings where a user would look for it.
The fact that XBMC "looks good" doesn't make it a good UI. Please, when you present your ideas focus on functionality issues rather than appearance issues.

Ditto. XBMC is shiny. That doesn't mean it has a good UI at all. In fact, I was only swearing at it the other day because there's no consistent way to turn off subtitles in it.

The idea of showing the setting value in the list has actually been discussed before. I don't know what the results were, but some searching should help you find it.
The issue in the context menu sounds like a bug that should've been reported. The same with "it remembers which font I selected in the simulator but not on the player." Are you sure that the version on your player and the version of your simulator match?
Please, when writing these up, don't write "Rockbox must do this" but perhaps "Rockbox should do this." It sounds very aggressive the way you've written it.

From memory the major objections were something like it looks bad/doesn't work on smaller screens/with bigger fonts.
