Well, this is like asking if you are a Ford guy or a Chevy guy, the debate rages on endlessly. Me being a lazy guy and not a perfectionist, keep that in mind, I'll share what works for me.
I've found that Kodi is the basic platform, and there are many add-ons that can be installed for, say, classic pictures. If you take one man's perfect setup, with all the current popular add-ons, save the configuration and give it a name, that is a build. There are many builds you can download for Kodi, Google best builds for Kodi.
Now the key is to download and install Aries Wizard, YouTube is your friend on this. Now you have a build manager. Select a build you like, install, and you are good to go. Don't like? Choose another and install it. It sure beats attempting to find and install the features you want, that is a learning experience. I did it for fun, but you certainly don't have to spend all the time learning how to do it. Good luck and happy viewing. My experience with Kodi ha s been quite positive and changed my life for the better.
I’ve tried the find features and do it yourself. Have everything working but I’m kind of lazy and am looking for a good build. I’m really trying to get my wife comfortable more than anything. She won’t get away from traditional tv if I can’t !Ake it simple. I mainly want good search capability.
