is this just 2013 /g/ meme stuff or is it still useful?

Dumb niggers use VLC
normal people use MPC-HC
/g/ memesters use mpv

It's useful if you add madvr but both was deprecated by mpv. If you want minimalism and editing text files doesn't intimidate you use mpv directly. If you want a replacement for mpc user one of the players that uses mpv as backend. Smplayer is pretty good and allows you to configure everything from a gui, you can fetch it from chocolatey for extra comfiness if you're using windows.
