Because it's quick to scan in emm, you have more control over data and can fill missing info immediately so library stays complete, your hdd doesn't get clogged up with pointless files xbmc caches forever when you change the artwork, you don't need to regularly export to ensure your library data is safe, easily get trailers locally so broken links etc don't affect you.
XBMC wasn't always as good at scraping and some people have been using these for a long time and when you get it set up it is just as easy and offers more control, you just scan your folder and can immediately correct wrong or missing data such as certificate, plot, title which especially for non us users can be a big problem. I can assure you that clicking scan all data for the 3 new movies you have and editing immediately in emm is far quicker than letting xbmc rescan your library, then rescrape artwork in xbmc if data is right else open browser go to xwmm edit data and images, go back to xbmc run image cleaner script and then export entire library. A lot depends how accurate you want all your data but for maximum control xbmc can't come close, and shouldn't either to keep the interface clean.
anyway in regards to op, the new
emm-r seems to be pretty good again, working as expected here with none of the unfound movie or inability to change movies with the previous scraper mods, also has youtube trailer downloading again which is awesome for filling the blanks that couchpotatos hd trailer scraper can't find. Loving having my emm back so I don't need to just use the native xbmc stuff again, just remember to use the 32 bit version regardless of your os.
