Why isn't VLC considered as an alternative?

And why re-encode files from FLAC to ALAC? What is gained when doing this
other than iTunes support (or is that the entire point)?

The re-encoding was done when I was still using iTunes, now I don't need it
any more (which is another benefit but I the conversion was so painless that
it's not really a reason for the switch).

I love VLC and use it a lot as a media player, but as a media library where I
want to browse, sort, tag things it's not really working that well (for me).
