Seems like many people get emotionally attached to software, and video player software in particular. I've seen this behavior over the years and I still don't get it.
I also recommend MX Player. I've installed it on numerous Android devices, including those without a "proper" version of Android, like the nook tablets, kindle Fire, and KFHD. I have never experienced any of the issues that Teknikal experienced. I won't claim that he didn't experience what he said he did, but it is the absolute opposite of my experience.
What I've found is that video formats, resolution, bitrates, etc. have a great deal to do with the quality of experience on devices. Far too many people use completely "jacked up" parameters when they encode their own videos. And many others go to questionable places to download videos where the encoding details are suspect.
Properly encoded videos keep file sizes to a minimum, picture quality that is relative to the screen size, and keep processor usage in an acceptable range so that battery life is not adversely affected.
