Agreed, easytag is easier to use and has much more functionality, nearly
everything I need to do to music files. Cantus lacks a lot of features
which I would call basic for mass tagging app, like fill tags from
filenames, select genre from a list, replace spaces with underscores,
remove id3v2 tags, rename directories, etc.

As a user who needs such an application, I found Cantus useless for me,
what to talk about majority of GNOME users, when even the hackers don't
know what mass tagging is.
