1) Don't get into interface design. Quicktime has the same interface on every OS it runs on. It was designed to run on apple OS. Programming in it on Widows can be a pain, but not impossible. As it is an industry standard, I would suggest that anyone's issues with the interface have to do with personal experience and bias.
2) bloat? compared to what?3) codecs. Perhaps you may have noticed that Quicktime on windows does not include a MPEG2 codec. Apple's windows MPEG2 codec is junk. Other than edit suites, who uses Quicktime MPEG2 files on Windows? If you are actually using the Quicktime SDK it is not hard to use whatever codec you want.
4) free. Have you read the fine print? NOT free. Kon Wilms wrote:

I can't name one person that thinks it is any good -- except people who are not computer savvy to start off with. Most Windows users who don't know any better often refer to it in sentences containing at least 2 or more expletives. Windows users: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/quicktime_alternative.htm That is all.
