Rory takes on "XAML should be XUL" evangelists
Rory Blyth is one of the most provocative and compelling voices on the blogosphere that I read. Today he took on the folks who believe that XAML should have been XUL. "Just because you don't like the fact that Microsoft created a new markup language, you want to rip it out and replace it with something else. Did you stop for even a moment to consider what a monumental task that would be? Why don't you just ask for someone to repaint the Empire State Building? Or have it moved a block over? Or transported to Sweden?"
