I think both have their place.  I have KODI on a menu in Mythtv.

For me, KODI excels at internet content, the vast array of plug ins.  
Mythtv excels at recorded content, both recording it (I don't think KODI 
can) and playback (still better in Mythtv).  I like the simpler 
interface in Mythtv better.  I like the music plug-in in MythTV better, 
but listen to TuneIn Radio on KODI.

I think I might be able to get by using KODI as the Mythtv frontend, but 
see no pressing reason to do so.
