I have found one MAJOR downside to XML that caused me to hate it; If you have any errors, your addon simply won't load.

No loading = no error messages for debugging = useless.
Creating templates is one.

You can check your FrameXML.log file in the Logs folder for XML loading errors. Other than that, you can run the XML file through a compiler - the same kind that you would use to check web XML code through - to check for syntax errors.
