 - Direct language support for XML only existed because string interpolators did not exist back then (supposedly). It seems to be an obviously better design to build on string interpolators.
 - Removes XML as a special case. With interpolators, one can embed arbitrary languages within Scala.
- - Similar argument: XML should have no higher place in the language than YAML, JSON, etc.

 - JSX-style use cases should use ScalaTags-style libraries anyway.
 - XML being part of the language is the reason that XML libraries have stalled, and that JSON ones have flourished
- - Counter-argument: lib stalling is due to the “symbol”-based translation. A name-based translation would not have this issue.

 - The promised XML interpolator was never materialized
 - JSX is now in widespread use in languages for front-end development. It is ironic that Scala would drop support for a similar feature now. It is even built in some languages, e.g., TypeScript.
- - JSX is simpler than scala-xml, though: no namespace support, in particular.

 - For front-end devs looking at Scala/Scala.js, string interpolators will look horrible compared to JSX, and it might be one of those “no-no” things that will push them away.
 - Being able to just copy-paste examples from the Net is nice. (8 Likes on this one)
 - No one uses XML anymore, right?
- - Some answer that they do. Especially in non-greenfield projects.
- - Kojo uses XML literals as building blocks for the Storytelling feature.

 - Compared to a string interpolator, flavors can be implemented using normal library code, without (whitebox) macros.
