XBMC, in my opinion, is a much better front end for audio & video than Myth.
The interface and usability are slicker and more usable than mythmusic and
mythvideo as far as I'm concerned. But yes, it does not add much more in the
way of core functionality than Myth. I am also curious if Myth can be a uPNP
client, I really haven't put much research into it though since most of my
non-tv related functions have been relegated to XBMC.
