Talk:Comparison of user interface markup languages
Appearance
In what sense is the "Development Environment" column meant to be used here? I ask because XAML can be produced with a text editor (just as almost every other language). Visual Studio obviously provides some accelerators and hooks for the dev process, but it certainly isn't necessary. XAML is compiled down into binary XAML (BAML) by either the VS compiler or MSBuild; in that sense, it needs MS products but only for compilation. XAML can also be generated by the new forms part of VS or by Sparkle.--128.194.53.163 20:26, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
