I think Plex & MB3 are both great and also offer a lot of promise. Since MB3 has been around for a while now I was wondering what everyone thought about it compared to Plex, pros and cons.
I currently use Win 7 WMC (which I think is great) because its 1 UI for everything that is very easy to navigate and use-WAF. Live TV & DVR via an OTA antenna in WMC works awesome too. Just wondering if Plex or MB3 stand alone or combined with WMC or XBMC is finally at the point now where it can replace WMC (or is it better suited working with WMC or XBMC)? In my eyes here are some of the main things it needs to do well:

In my eyes here are some of the main things it needs to do well:
- The best all in 1 solution for a HTPC-live & recorded TV, DVDs, other media, other streaming options (netflix)
- Ease of use/WAF in home on the network-1 user interface, works well, glitch free, smooth playback
- Ease of use/WAF when outside of the home (in the cloud, cell phone)- works well, glitch free, smooth playback
- Inexpensive way to easily access your media on a 2nd or 3rd TV (bedroom)-chromecast, roku
