Sora is not only that, is just that bitcomet includes a lot of useless built in features: The web browser is one, the built in chat is another, the favorites is another, if you want to help newbies with information of where they can find the torrents, why not to maka thread with the information at these forums or to develope a built in browser feature, that show the results of the different torrent site in the same window?
Another crappy Built in feature is the video previewer, I honestly think is better to preview those files with the media players like: Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic, etc..
The UI, need to be reorganized in all the aspects, I hate that stupid vote in in the top100 banner., It could be done in an origianal way to fit BC UI. Maybe a skin system.
A few other features would be to be able to put incomplete or downloading files / incomplete torrents jobs in a different directory and then move it another directory exclusive for complete applications.
If Syn removes the built in applications: chat, browser, media player, BC will use less space and or memory for sure and I don't think it will affect the download speed at all. I am using Utorrent now as main torrent, I like the UI they use for it, but when I need to download Heavy files and I want to download them fast, then that's the time for Bitcomet.

And about removing the built in application, it can also be an opportunity to open new projects, like.
BitNavigator (Bitcomet browser)
bIRC (Bitcomet IRC client)
Bplay (Bictoment Media player)
