Very lightweight without compromising features. I especially like the inbuilt subtitle search.
Not discontinued. Sometimes there are long breaks between releases, it can be months, or years. One break was 2 years (between 2015 to 2017).
A new version was just released (Sept/2018).
Seeing how this post is old I will update you. The project is no longer developed nor maintained.

Official https://mpc-hc.org/ website has been updated and all Download pages have been removed and or hidden, you can longer download 1.7.13 from official source. There is also a banner on the homepage that reads "MPC-HC is not under development since 2017. Please switch to something else."

I've always used VLC but when I play mp4 or some mkv files and I want to skip from a position to another in the progress bar, VLC takes a long time to render and it's frustrating.
MPC HC is always fast!
MPC-HC is my new favourite player regarding playing 1080p-stuff. It looks so beautiful with ffdshow-tryouts. Much better quality than with VLC.
I love VLC Media Player, and use it as my primary video player; however, I want surprised to find it incapable of properly reading Star Wars I The Phantom Menace (probably due to the InterActual software it was infected with). Fortunately, this application enabled me to enjoy the movie without any hassles.
