I agree that its better to have a custom Netflix look rather than the same Netflix UI. e.g. Xbox, PS3, WMC all ahve a different NEtflix interface and they look great and IMO more usable than the standard one.
Most devices are limited in the amount of data they can process and thus the standard UI only shows one movie at a time. PC's (and consoles) are a lot more powerful. In fact I think the best way would be to make a 'Netflix movie provider' as a video source, and it would integrate into standard movie views. I don't know if that's possible using XBMC architecture.

i really think that its really nice to have a similar NetFlix UI....
NetFlix users are used to it and i really think that its a good idea...
Maybe have an option to switch between the interfaces for XBMC-FliCKS!!
So who Ever wants the normal skin NetFlix interface will be able to do so!
But continue to develop your new interface because its really really good!

I know the name of the script (add-on) is called XBMCflix......................but I think it would look better if the UI window said "Netflix on XBMC" or "Netflix for XBMC".
That way, it is known by the user........"This is Netflix" on my XBMC, and not a reproduction of the Netflix UI for XBMC.
Our community is kinda known for "reproducing" other UIs...............(ex: MC360, Xtv, Metro and Xperience) Which isn't a bad thing but new users may get confused.
Just my 2 cent though..................
I've really been waiting for Netflic on XBMC.............so either way, I'm happy.

Looks good to me. Now if they could just make MS Silverlight "magically" work on Linux. I hate the fact that Netflix uses Silverlight as it allows you only to use Windows.......no love for the Mac users out there either. Nice work though.
