Re: [coldsync-hackers] Would XML be a Good Thing?

[Don Duck Harper <duck@duckland.org>]

XML is just a passing fad, just like applications written in Java.

Bleah...

Personally, I hate that a lot of people are hopping on the XML bandwagon
( no offense, Andrew. :), and some are doing it just to say that they
know XML.

Bleah.

Don

ps - My company currently used XML & applications written in Java.  And
yes, some of the apps are non-GUI. :(  But, I am just a systems guy, not
a programmer....
