It also has a media library, actually, and works pretty well as a music
player.

The problem (IMHO) is the UI; it's not very sexy, and not very
newbie-friendly either. Exposing the all the power it has while presenting a
clean and intuitive UX is not very easy, but I don't think it is unreasonably
hard either.

That said, I'm not too familiar with Tomahawk, but I suspect it might already
cover more of what people want from a pure music player. But someone who is
more familiar with it chime in with what it is missing wrt. integration in
Plasma, and then we can see how hard those things are to fix.
