I've been patiently waiting for an XBMC tie in. I've tried PLEX, but IMO it doesn't compare to the experience that I get with XBMC.

I think it will require the XBMC community to embrace it and push it in. I'm not sure if they could do this via a skin, if we'll have to wait for an XBMC release after Gotham, or if someone will figure a way to have Chromecast act as a second monitor.

Any of those and I feel that my home media center will be complete, but until then I'm stuck waiting.

I'd be interested to see what comes out, but the strength of the chromecast is the ability to browse and such and your phone, and just click a button to instruct the chromecast to play certain content. I'm not sure it makes sense to replicate the xbmc interface on your TV - it's not really inline with what the chromecast is trying to do.
