I've been an occasional user of Pencil for 5 years (almost to the month). Really glad to see it moving away from XUL.

      Yes, I know. I am one of those "unhappy developers". I had hoped to find some reasoning behind OP's joy of getting rid of XUL. In my opinion XUL is what made Pencil so attractive (native widgets, that can be stuffed with behaviour), Using XUL and an add-on Pencil could have become a full fledged GUI designer, using XSLT to export to various formats.

    Because XUL will soon be unmaintained. It's too useful a tool to wither away and die.

  But they're moving to Electron which I wish packed lighter.
