#2XML?
Why not web components?
Re: XMLUI
#3No mention of XSLT? Feels like it would be highly relevant since many folks have not considered transforming or styling XML since those days, and would be interested in understanding the huge leap from that to this.
And given Jon Udell has written about XSLT before[0], I'm sure this was an intentional decision. Not sure I understand it though.

#4it reminded me of Adobe Flex (probably without its "bad" parts) - nice work, congrats to the developers.

XAML is an example for how not to do it.

#8As a programmer I found that all no-or-less-code approaches break up sooner than one would expect.
Eventually I chosen to always use the programming language itself for data fetching, looping and leave the templating (lit html in my case) to just passing in the data structures.

#9Impressive that they note:
>This site is an XMLUI™ app.
but like pretty much every such system, it is assumed that one knows react and so forth, and how to manage a deployment --- if they really want to be compared to VisualBasic, what is the equivalent to:
- buy VB - install VB - launch VB - develop app - test/compile - distribute .exe
Probably I'm not the target audience, but if they had a "Minimal Working Example" of not just how to code, but also how to deploy an app (can it be run locally, say if I wanted something to keep track of my 3D printers and CNC machines?).
