I see XML fairly regularly in legacy Spring and Hibernate applications and
Maven POMs. And if you're doing Android, you see XML all the time. But at
least there it's well used, so that's less painful.

It should be noted that the XML comment comes right after King says that
"the number one technical problem that we simply can't solve to our
satisfaction in Java - or in any other existing JVM language - is the
problem of defining user interfaces and structured data using a typesafe,
hierarchical syntax." (http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Ceylon). If you're
using JSF, I guess you are joined to XML at the hip.
