When it comes to putting the UI together quickly, I think the majority of
folks are (currently) more productive using HTML as opposed to XML. Look at the
tools
most presentation folks are using - HTML tools - not XML editors. Why over
complicate
things.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big XML fan and XSL is extremely powerful once you
understand it.
The problem is there's still a large knowledge gap and most folks are lazy -
they'll go with
what the know.

Yea, maybe in 5-10 years when HTML is completely dead and JetSpeed is pushing
all
it's content to a Handheld.
In the meantime, I think there's still a lot of room for stuff like WebMacro.
Have you *actually* looked at WebMacro?

Totally agree!

***Hype alert!***
I think you limit your potential more if you use it for the sake of using it
rather
than when it makes sense.
WebMacro has a pretty large following, I think it's integration and use in
Turbine
will help Turbine's popularity and adoption.
However,I do think we should actively look at how to nicely fit XML into Turbine
so as more folks get up to speed and adopt it we'll be ready. And eventually
it'll be the default presentation mechanism.
