		zamalek 5 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: XMLUI XAML (at least the tighter-scoped Silverlight incarnation of it) was an absolute joy to use - if you used it correctly. It was an absolute monster if you used it in the most obvious (and incorrect) way. That's probably the reason other than HTML5 that it fell off: good tools steer novices into the pit of success, and XAML really didn't do that at all.

I'm sure Microsoft hopping from one XAML implementation to an entirely new one every five years didn't help either.
