I tried Boxee once on my iMac, but I really couldn't figure out what exactly people love about it so much. I'm having trouble recalling details, but essentially, it seemed to have "channels" of which the only interesting one was content from Hulu. Since I can already access Hulu with a browser, without having to install this media app with a goofy UI, I was a bit nonplussed.

Boxee also installed a daemon that took over the input from my Apple remote, which I was sorta pissed about.
