My 0.02$...
I used Plex for a while as I wanted the tight iTunes/iPhoto integration. However I wanted the nicest skins and found Plex was missing all the latest XBMC skinning improvements.
So that was the main reason I switched. Plex has a lot of nice plugins etc etc and seems to be focussing more on that.
I've not gone back..... I wouldn't say it's more stable (but then I'm running latest SVN builds to get the latest features/fixes).

I think the only imrpovement in Plex is that it has way better plugin handling than XBMC. By better i mean a lot easier, and more user friendly.
Other than that i don't see any other significant improvements. I only used it for watching TV-shows, though. Could be improvements in other areas.

Do they handle 5.1 audio the same way? I can't get 5.1 audio out of xmbc on a ppc quad 2.5ghz G5.
