But at least for 12.1 Clementine will be in the distro, so people can
easily install it without needing to add additional repos.

That is certainly better, and I agree with keeping more upstream in
most cases. But frankly, Amarok has a bad interface IMHO. Clementine
has the bulk
of Amarok features and a much more approachable interface.

that sounds like a matter of personal opinion. i like amarok's interface
much better, and it hasn't given me any trouble in a long while. it is
'heavy,' compared to clementine, but doesn't hog resources, unless it's
busy scanning a huge collection, of course.

Agreed, I much prefer Amarok's interface as well.

probably a question of what one got used to. those who used amarok 1.4 a
lot may experience some sort of 'culture shock,' since the interface
changed a lot. others (like me) who didn't use the earlier version much,
have less trouble. if that's true, having amarok as default and clementine
as an option makes sense, since long time users are more likely to know
about the alternative and can easier implement it.
Though I have seen the shock you speak of, I did not share in it as I am not
around so long as to have been around KDE3.
