The interface is aesthetically very pleasing, although the layout isn’t perfect, and there’s no option to rearrange things. In fact there are no settings you can tinker with.

Before looking at more YouTube players, there’s lots of general music players that you could look. How about Pragha and Museeks? Pragha is a fairly lightweight music player that is written in C and fully integrates with GTK+3. It supports Last.fm. Museeks is Electron based and in early development but it’s pretty darn good.
Just my 2c
I think I’ve had my quota of Electron based music software for a while, but there’s an article due for Pragha in a few weeks (subject to editorial approval).
