For features, I hope you can point to unfulfilled wishlist reports.

For stability, I hope you can point to open bug reports.

For compatibility and file formats, are you aware that xanim is a modular 
player, and supports whatever you installed plugins for?

Also, are you certain that our replacement of xine/arts/kaboodle supports 
every format xanim supports?

And people who want other codecs can use kaboodle.  Why does that make 
aktion worthy of removal?  It still *works* for those old codecs, does it 
not?

Yup, but you accused me of calling you something, which was unnecssary and 
unproductive.

If you know that, why are you making false accusations about what kaboodle 
can and cannot play?
