Discovered cmus last year and fell in love with it. It has everything I need from a music player (love vi-like key bindings!).

MOC is all I need.
For some reason I don't like using GUI audio media players.

Banshee is slow and clunky and buggy, but it's still my choice. It works better than the others I've tried. I primarily listen to podcasts with my audio player, and Banshee's playlist/music library handling works best for a library that changes every day.
Rhythmbox can't seem to grasp the concept that I'd want to delete an audio file as soon as I'm done listening to it.

I agree. GUI is not really helpful in playing music, IMO. |

If the GUI can display album art, it can be useful information. Here's a screenshot of one I'm working on:

The really rare occasions when I want to look at the album art or lyrics do not justify the need for running an audio program that would keep connecting to the internet or unnecessarily hog my resources.
Obviously, these are my personal preferences and I'm aware that a lot of people might find such big programs like eg. Amarok genuinely useful. |
