While I do like how that looks, I can't see a significant benefit over simply selecting genres... other than it looking nice. However, with my collection becoming rather large I do like the idea of "narrowing" choices so if someone wants to mod it I would probably use it. I would like to see a better "recommended" widget or just random/genre based suggestions. Or, one feature that I think was mentioned before is a similar movies tab even if they aren't in your library - and eventually you can even add them to your netflix queue.

The benefit, for me at least, is one less screen to see my movies. On my set up I have netflix and hulu coming directly into my library using XBMC My Library and PlayOn, so things can be added to my library without me knowing. This would give me a quick look at all genres including recently added without constantly going back and forth between screens.
