As much as I dislike VLC, I've found that it's the only player that allows
me to play DVD's, which is something I do on a daily basis. I realize there
are legal problems with DVD playback, but it is truly sad that all-but-one
open source players in 2010 are still not able to do this when the other
platforms has had numerous applications for this in well over a decade. I
can imagine that for people new to Linux, this is quite a big WTF.

I'd love to be proven wrong or hear of any alternatives though.

Anything that uses GStreamer (e.g., totem) has had decent DVD support for quite some time.
