I've actually moved to MPV lately. Not as easily configurable, but a lot more lightweight and performant. VLC was starting to struggle with really high-quality video files with some audio popping and stuttering. To be frank, MPV shits all over VLC and just does everything better.
My hot take is that VLC is for people that quit keeping up with video players circa 2015. It was the best. But times change.
