Has anyone ever used Songbird?

I was browsing around and came across Songbird: http://www.songbirdnest.com/
Its still in the development stages but I didn't know if it was worth a look.

I stopped paying attention to the project because the development team seemed more concerned with creating logos and t-shirts than actually producing a true beta version of the program.

Haha good point. I saw there were t-shirts for sale while the alpha version is the only download available...seemed to jump the gun a bit.

Well I wouldn't dismiss it just because they're calling it 0.2.5 development preview, lots of OSS software sticks with low version numbers because development is so transparent an ongoing and there's no manager to say "Just release it already!". Hell I'm still using Enlightenment Development Release 16 and the major development on that stopped in like 1998.

Takes up too much RAM.

I like the interface but I don't think it's ready for prime time. Maybe in a few months / years.

Any real reasons as to why? I have no real interest in songbird specifically but I really hate the phrase "ready for prime time" and even more when there's no reasons to back the claim up.
