Super glad to hear this -- I created a small chrome extension a while ago and found it a joy to code (very easy, with a distinct lack of surprises), and when I looked into creating a similar Firefox extension, the idea of learning XUL was enough to shut down the idea of a port very very quickly. Maybe I'm just lazy, but I was very surprised to find that Firefox would create such a technology when more "open web friendly" solutions were possible. I'm sure it's just that XUL is a vestige of a time when the web was still young, but I am going to wait until Web Extensions are released before I attempt to write any extensions for Firefox. Are there any reasons to keep XUL around (other than lack of apps that were written with it)? It doesn't seem like there are any unique features that couldn't be reproduced using something like chrome's model...
