Here's what I've found so far:
Video Formats
iFlicks - info support of all quicktime readable, windows media and real media
MG - only support for Quicktime readable
Thumbnails
iFlicks - bigger, with live updating preview frames, .mpeg, .rm, and .wmv make no thumbs
MG - previews made only during import, .mov and mpegs 1-4 supported
Interface Controls
iFlicks - clunky and incomplete
MG - more complete, less space efficient
Libraries
iFlicks - tries to do the iPhoto method
MG - supports multiple libraries as files (better)
List View
iFlicks - so many fields you won't use them all
MG - basic fields, more would be nice
Well don't agree that there's a cripple fight between MovieGallery and other video gallery software. MovieGallery has some distinct features/differences that make it unique. We have always had the web-publishing part in mind when developing the app and we needed re-compression and stability. That's why we choose to build it around QuickTime. This is my opinion on your ideas:
Video Formats
QuickTime is fully extensible by adding components. Today we can play a wide selection of video formats and more is coming. When Tiger arrives we will also have support for H264 which is one of the best video formats seen to date. We could have implemented ffmpeg support but we needed the export functions of QuickTime in order to make this app happen. There's also some legal problems around ffmpeg that seems bad at the moment. Read more at http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/
Thumbnails
You say that previews only are made during import which is actually wrong. You can easily ctrl-click on any frame in the movie and build a new thumbnail. You can also choose an picture as a thumbnail.
Interface Controls
We have always tried to follow the human interface guidelines from Apple (even though Apple don't do it themselves). You say that MG is less space efficient than the competition. Do you know that you can hide the toolbar by clicking at the icon in the window's upper right corner? Do you know that you can hide the left pane by dragging the divider all the way to the left? You will only have the movie left on screen which seems pretty space efficient to me.
Libraries
Yes, MG has a totally different approach to libraries that the competition. We work document-based and it will soon show that this makes a great difference ;-)
List View
You want more fields? Which?

1. Support for non-Quicktime movies (Realplayer, Windowsmedia, etc.).
2. Multiple Libraries. Multiple playlists are great but not complete without separate Library files.
Otherwise, great job so far.. Also, the ability to open movies into their own windows would be useful sometimes.
So I guess just plugging into other formats is my only feature suggestion.
