Interestingly, you make no mentioning of XML as a layout mechanism.
Having worked on Android with Romain Guy (a stark defender of XML
layout) can I infer you are of the same opinion? I am kind of torn
personally, given that I love type-safety and the fact that I can
explore an API, and get full type-safety, with any IDE (rather than
trying to guess magic string content like vertical, wrap_content,
fill_parent etc). It doesn't really seem like it has benefited
tooling, the WYSIWYG editor is still quite useless (and now seems to
be completely replaced by App Inventor).
