Yes, that is deeply connected with being unexplorable.
Celluloid is also keyboard driven. But in celluloid there are clearly marked buttons for the most used functions and I can open the menu to check the keyboard shortcuts. Not so in mpv.
For what it’s worth, I think celluloid is a thin wrapper around mpv with the only purpose to provide a better UI. And I’m very thankful for and happy with that.
Yeah, it does have some hickups when playing a movie from my HDD. I think it doesn’t prefetch enough data, because I didn’t have any issues after copying the movie to a tmpfs.
I still use it over mpv, because I truly cannot stand mpvs UX. But a valid point.
I use celluloid, because I absolutely hate the mpv interface. Seriously, how unexplorable and unintuitive can you make it?

I used to feel the same way, but the interface is actually super customizable if you are ok with editing config files!
Here is the manual.
There is also a huge variety of third party scripts, like this one shows thumbnail previews when hovering over the seek bar.
