Another problem of XML is that if you have a syntax error in your file, the file won't be loaded, and you'll have no message telling you where to find your error. I'm not sure if some people use decent softwares to parse their files for pure XML errors, but even if you did that, there could still be errors like the misspelling of one of wow's XML keywords, etc...

So, it's really annoying to debug. Afaik, the only thing in XML that you can't do in Lua is creating virtual frames (but I might be wrong on that). So you have to do that another way (there are several options, I believe).
