Ctrl-Shift ZXCVB, fr'ex..
yPlay: 8 megs memory usage, simple controls, starts in less than 2 seconds, no arbitrary limitations.
I'll use WinAMP over WMPlayer, and I'll use WinAMP when I want purty visualizations and whatnot... but when all I want is background music while a memory hog is running in the foreground (City of Heroes, Visual Studio, etc), I think the choice is clear.

The ability to reorder scenes easily, see their summary, and keep notes right there in the scene without having to switch back and forth between my draft file and my notes file... really helped. Also, the reports showing who's in which scene and who the viewpoint character is _really_ helped, heh.
of the things he complains about I've never really had problems with.
But the
"reporting" and plot organization features sound interesting.
Some of it, I'll probably never use. It has (for example) fields where you can rate different aspects of a scene -- humor, tension, etc. I don't see myself ever using that.
But anything that keeps _me_ better organized is a win in my book, heh.
