We aren’t saying QuickTime is crappy software, it actually works fairly decently, it’s just unnecessary to install everything that comes with the Apple QuickTime installer just to watch videos.

One can also save both bloat and intrusive software by replacing Realplayer with "real alternative" See below:

I have used both QT lite and real alternative for a long time and both work very well for me
