It sucks on Windows, but it's what I'm using on linux across 2 pcs and I have no complaints, aside from the buggy "fullscreen screen selection" when you got 2 monitors or more.

VLC is pretty good but they need to add some QoL fixes to automate common tasks. Currently some tasks take several action where one could be enough. For example,instead of requiring the user to do each step separately, VLC could uninstall itself and install mpv all in one go.

Still, MPlayer, the program mpv is forked from, is capable of dealing with these finely.

That's strange because for me it performs better on Windows than Linux. On Linux, sometimes it will get stuck in fullscreen mode once the video is over and double-clicking won't exit it so I have to hit Alt+F4. Also, when I have a few videos queued up it will eventually stop showing a picture when it switches to the next one and play the audio only leaving me with a black screen and causing me to have to restart the program. Seeking in MKV files causes a slight pause and then a few seconds of distorted video.

Defaults are slightly better, except the UI and keyboard shortcuts. For example, it broadcasts media played to synced devices over KDE Connect and similar software. You can right click and play media (local, network, capture devices) from within the GUI.

I've never had such glithes in vlc, but I don't watch videos often. Maybe a retarded GPU driver causes that. Watching videos on botnettube on windows 10 on my parents' computer caused BSOD, because the driver wasn't up to date.

Tested it on a mkv h264 1080p video. Resource usage is identical. I don't have a bunch of various videos with different properties so I can't make a proper benchmark, but running a video on both players for a minute reveals that they use the same amount of RAM and CPU.

This is because some giga-autist decided to compile default MPV binaries without --enable-dvdnav or --enable-dvdread, probably because they imagine it's "bloat" or "insecure":
