XML bloats the world and annoys users (ArnorH)
- XML …feels an awful lot like using an enormous sledge hammer to drive common household nails — Jeff Atwood
- XML is for those that can’t parse [write parsers] and relish long winded means of saying little.
To paraphrase Tom Lehrer: “You can always count on XML for a rousing finale full of sound and fury and signifying absolutely nothing.” — bob12
