      Its a continuation of the now deprecated Clementine music player, which was aiming to bring the Foobar2000 UI and plugin functionality to a modern FOSS cross platform state. That’s off the top of my head, but I followed the Foobar->clementine->strawberry pipeline over the years because I like the Milkdrop2.0 visualizer plugin.

        If I remember correctly, Clementine was not trying to bring Foobar to Linux, but trying to preserve the UX/UI of Amarok 1.4 after the release of Amarok 2.0 (which was not well received by the community).

      Personally I like it because it makes managing my music library really easy. Especially when it comes to keeping everything organized in a way my Plex server likes as well.

      It really depends on the individual. Some people really hate the outdated looking UI and don’t have much use for the audiophile features.
