Its nice to hear that VLC is still being updated, but cant say if I am a fan of that UI.

From my experience, better looking UI isn't always better, especially when compared to older but far more tested variant. E.g. Nvidia control panel looks like something made in early 2000s, however It works as intended so Nvidia hasn't bothered fixing something which ain't broken.

Similarly I don't quite see why this reskin was necessary, the older UI was surely a bit old but I think most people were fine with it. Anyway....I hope this reskin doesn't become a mistake xD

Agreed.Aside from reskinning action,this new skin looks similar to other video players however the old skin allows you to control many things without too much effort(menu bar).The new one,though more stylish,seems missing something.I think they will allow user to switch to the classic one.

And,sometimes an update of UI consumes more resource - not friendly for older hardware.
