Cons:
- it's a memory hog application.
- slow and heavy since it's based on the XUL technology from Mozilla
- Not cocoa!
- has some weird issues with leopard

Pros:
- unlike iTunes it also enable you to watch and subscribe youtube channels
- has a very nice portal for browsing and picking up your favorite channels. I wish apple store has something pretty slick like this

For those who like French TV, it has a stream of the Zapping de Canal+: a very good daily best of French TV:

although xul & python based, this application is a fantastic idea which is beautifully implemented. there are a small handful of minor interface bugs, but it generally fits in nicely with the look, feel & function(s) of os x and overall, miro is pretty damn stable & quick. i mostly use it as a conduit for educational and news related videos/video feeds, but its built-in guide/browser offers one many different types of content as well... and if you can't find it in there, you can always add external feeds to your channel list as well.

i switched over to miro from joost after their builds started getting hefty unstable and the joost team announced their intention to switch over to a flash/browser-based interface. i don't regret this one bit at all though. after all, joost was not an os x "native" program either. plus, knowing that i am using a community developed, open-source application which supports a much wider array of codecs, including of-course, open-source formats, (not to mention its integrated library feature, which allows one to access local videos sitting on their hard-drive as well) makes me feel "that much better".

i would not hesitate to recommend this program to anyone interested, and am looking forward to seeing it undergo further development.

This is great... I've used Macs forever, but I've always been frustrated that the Mac does not have a Windows-style maximise. Shame it does not work with Carbon apps... anyone knows if there is a way of doing this?

This, combined with Preview (with the toolbar hidden) makes for excellent clutter-free e-book reading. It's just awesome!

Not entirely full screen: you'll still see the scroll bars, and a 1 pixel high line on top. Nevertheless, to watch a Flickr slideshow Mega Zoomer works great! :)
(Except you have to hide/show the status bar, toolbar etc yourself.)

Note: Opera 9.25 does a real full screen (out of the box), but doesn't respect embedded color profiles of photos (check here, hover on the photo in the center, on the top).
