Why is Exaile in AUR and not in community (or extra)?
Not that it would be too hard to install anything from AUR, but I think Exaile deserves more attention. It's a great alternative to Rhythmbox or Banshee.
The outdated wiki page suggests that it was once in community...

No-one wanted to maintain it in [community]
Hi Allan, thanks for the quick reply!
Maybe, one day it'll be me... I'll start by mainting the wiki page

@im_ka: Thanks for pointing me to Exaile! It seems to be a feature-rich audio player with a nice and clean GUI. I will use it instead of Amarok.
Kind regards,
jamesbond007.

There is also Clementine if you want a QT media player

Exaile is kind of buggy, as far as I can see.
But it's still good for daily use.

@jamesbond007: no problem, that's why I think it deserves a place in community
@SS4: yes, clementine is great for kde. Exaile is just tailored to my netbook running XFCE

I see many important apps are only in AUR: first in mind: exaile, xnoise, bangarang, apper, synaptiks, kcm-ufw..
these are in default setups in many distros.
I don't know, I can see 10 cli rss readers, 40 plasma-addons 5kb splitted packages, many similar (crappy) videogames, borwser addons you can keep up to date within it, in communty or extra..
I don't think this reflects the growing popularity of the best distro out here..

It reflects what the people who volunteer to do the work want to do... If that does not match your expectations, become a TU and change it.
