What would you use instead of iTunes? I will be genuinely surprised if you can name a better program for your music library.
With iOS5 you can stream content from your computer running iTunes+HomeSharing now. Keep all the films on the computer and just stream them to your iPhone/Pad/TV when you want them, or when iTunes gets the latest podcast episodes for you. No reason to get rid of iTunes

To actually answer your question:
Nope. That's what PC free means.
If you hate iTunes that much you never need to use it again with iOS 5.
Jaysus, take a chill pill, man. It's not like he's trying to wipe iTunes off YOUR computer.
Why in the world would you want to do that!!!!!!!
I would be genuinely surprised if you’ve ever heard of the better programs I could name...

Spotify.
Much more responsive than iTunes. It'll play local files without ads + it'll stream anything you don't own, with ads every five songs or so.
As for if you can delete iTunes yet, I think the answer is no... as much as I despise iTunes, I have to admit that accessing and browsing the iTunes Stores is easier in iTunes than on the iPhone.
The funny thing is that a streaming service does indeed work more smoothly than a player which plays local files.
