My initial objection is that XUL is Mozilla only. With Mozilla having only 10% market share (outside tech community), it is not a solution that is cross browser enough to build things on.
This is not a client requirement, it's just something that lots of power admins are probably going to use. As we noted yesterday, visits to Drupal.org - and by extension, drupal admins - are a plurality Mozilla based browsers. Given those two points, Firefox' small overall market share seems unimportant.
However, the new piece of info me is that they made "XULRunner" out of it which is cross platform and browser independant.
Browser independent, yes, but would this Drupal admin client also be able to run inside of Firefox? I think most people would prefer installing an extension over installing a whole new application.
