I believe you. I feel that way about iTunes (trauma intensifies).

But Jellyfin doesn't have that reputation.

Are you seriously telling us you reading from three reddit threads from almost a decade ago and consider that "reputation"?

I am beginning to remember what made me think Jellyfin wasn't user friendly.

Maybe it wasn't the user interface after all.

You’re not wrong.

The only real usability issue I've had is auto cataloging. It isnt right much of the time. But I don't have any remote users that don't have network access so that simplifies things a whole lot.
