A progress bar showing up in the bottom of the video with a simple tap, like in OVP, would be simpler and more handy, in my opinion. But again, that's just my opinion and that's already what I said in my previous post. Everybody won't think the same, but it would still be better if we had more choices for the players, like we had with the N900.
And I absolutely agree with you, KMPlayer can be a bit of a pain to use, but it works. The GUI is definitely confusing at first glimpse and just understanding their paradigm on searching and selecting videos takes a while to understand. The landing screen seems pointless because you just jump into lists of folders and doesn't really make good use of the screen real estate. Like you said, it's a matter of taste and clearly the Dev went "Function over Form" which is fine because the software does work.

PS: Any advice on getting that VLC installation to work correctly on PR 1.3, Kabouik?
