I've heard these claims (“player X should be more than good enough, what do
you need mplayer for these days?”) for at least the last five years -- it's a
difficult claim to refute, since people have rather different viewing habits,
different platforms and different needs. For _my_ part, I've still not seen
any player that works remotely as reliably over a wide range over file
formats and various brokenness as mplayer does.
