Most people are angry that Coreplayer lacks in something when compared to TCPMP (no plugins = big).

CorePlayer also lacked an Options screen upon initial release, and this was fixed in 1.02 - they're still putting things back in, and have indicated Hotkey support's going back in too. Besides, there's still BetaPlayer coming out again - I personally advise people who aren't happy with CorePlayer's current set of features to wait for CorePlayer Free or BetaPlayer.
Still, as I keep noting, who the hell is stupid enough to use AC3 for portable players? It's like complaining about a cheap PMP with a 3" screen not supporting 1080p - it's overkill, and the product's still being updated/improved. Personally, I'd rather have had them wait another few weeks so they could've shipped CorePlayer with the features that had to be put into 1.02 and the upcoming 1.1... but that's their fault for setting a solid release date too, then finding that not all the bugs had been quashed.
And yes, it IS your damned fault if you went ahead and bought the product a few weeks after it'd been released, expecting support for features which others have complained are missing. Again and again and again. It's been a month now - there's no excuse NOT to have heard about it somewhere, especially with all the bitching that has gone on within this and other forums. It's like a Windows Vista user complaining that WinFS is missing after buying it - they'd announced it was missing in action ages ago, and reviewers have pointed out this fact time and again.
