Until recently the Plex-app available for Roku literally looked like something out of the 90s. I've seen fancier menus on my old Amiga.

The eco-system and its apps are not really built to impress.

Makes me wonder: if the Roku was released today, how successful would it be? Seems like they have a huge first mover advantage in that people know it. But now there are lots of big players in the game who can really polish their respective products. I guess this IPO is supposed to help with that, but I feel this just means that there's a challenging road ahead.
