Hold on a minute. I really don't care the least bit about underlying code, that is, the XML that's generated by a really good design tool. Saying you should have to learn the XML (in this case) is like saying you have to learn the bytecode that's generated from the java code. Sure, you always need understand the structure, but with good tools, you can _focus_ on the structure and not worry about the details.
