Well I think it's due to the fact that Songbird is totally skinable - 
which is a concept e.g. Firefox abandoned quite a while back (obvious 
reasons).
I used Songbird for a month on one of my computers (since Banshee kept 
crashing) and it is quite similar to Banshee. The good news is IMO 
Banshee is still better in almost all regards that I used. The only 
thing that maybe should be inspired from Songbird is the "Drag cover 
here" implementation.
