I haven't heard anyone being upset with the decision. Most people are either part of an Enterprise Agreement, or they are not using the MUI. |
If there are designers that only use a Mac, then I will not be able to share the XAML that makes up the design with them and I will have to spend a lot of time re-creating their design in code. It could ultimately lead me to look for a different designer that uses a file format that works with my development tool. |
The ability for a designer to export their design in XAML format that can then be imported into Visual Studio [means] the developer doesn't have to spend any time re-creating the great design and can instead just concentrate on adding functionality to the application. If more designers and developers use XAML as a standard way of exchanging information about the user interface, I think we will see a lot fewer boring applications. |
