There is something that bothers me. Existing Delphi applications IMO are easy to reverse engineer (at least extract the DFM portion of EXE). And I certainly hate others being able to easily see

object Button1:TButton
......
  OnClick=Button1Click
end

I know that decoupling real code from UI design adds tremendous flexibility in application design. I also am aware, that there are ways of protecting critical (from security aspect) parts of your code. However, it really annoys me if anyone (and I don't just mean crackers, but competitors in particular) is able to just open a XML file at have a look at how I implemented "action semantics".

At first, it was VCL, then Reflection and now comes XAML. All these are wonderful, but I think we all should keep in mind the there is always the dark side of the moon.
