Re: You GOT to be kidding me!!

The author, I believe, does 'get' what XAML is. XAML is _not_ a system for allowing people to write GUIs without recourse to a 'real' programming language. Even if you were to try and write your application's logic entirely in the XAML dialect, you would find yourself needing a similar depth of understanding to the person using a 'real' language; you would also be stumped as soon as you tried to do anything non-trivial.

Also on the subject of programming, who stipulated that you must write your app in C++? Write it in Python if you wish; then you get to forget about the nasty C++ compiler and debugger.

I would also say that anyone can write a GUI with Qt, with minimal training, if they use Qt designer, as I did. What exactly will be the difference between XAML with an interface designer and Qt with an interface designer? Not much, I would say.
