I only use Mythweb. I prefer Kodi as my FE. My ideal setup is a 
rock-solid, headless Myth BE with a web ui. I don't mind if the back-end 
does commercial skipping, meta-data or transcoding but I really want it 
to be stable. Storage would be on a NAS. Front-ends would be configured 
with Kodi and customized for the different users.
