UI's: It is great that they are going that way, old IU's are part of the past.

Bindings: RS should take lessons, just because is difficult does not deterred MS or APPLE from using it. And its not just them, many other development tools have had binding as an automation feature.

From a course I attended Monday, MS are working on an entire "line of business" component approach which this, I think, is the first example.

Note that the component are all available as open source under a non- restrictive license (MPL). http://www.codeplex.com/mscui/

One of the great ironies is that both MS and Apple are pushing bindings as the way to go in UI development, with WPF and Cocoa. Hopefully we will see them return to RB in a more robust form.
