I’ve been using Kodi for a while.  The video playback quality via my rPi2
is excellent.  But, I’m not crazy about the Kodi UI/UX.  I posted a summary
a few months ago (
http://lists.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2015-November/383134.html )
and the UX issues still apply.

I would love to see a theme for Kodi that would make it more like MythTV.
Although I’m not sure if all of those things can be controlled in a theme.
  All of the themes I’ve tried had aspects of Kodi menu/navigation. The
silly slide out drawer and play/pause cluster popping up in the UI..   It
seems like it’s expecting mouse input rather than a living room / remote
control UI.
