Well, in the current state of things, you must be right.

But processors get faster, and who knows? Maybe some way to compile XUL into something more compact will come along.

Makes me curious as to whether MicroB's UI was built entirely by hand or whether there was a XUL to Hildon tool to do some of the work . . .

Thank you for the compliment. I want to give credit to the developers whose work I built on, but I'm reminded too of what a friend told me: "Magicians don't invent every magic trick they do." So in that regard I appreciate your appreciation.
