About XUL, what is your impression about its future and, do you plan some replacement for it in the future, maybe with full HTML5, Amber based maybe?
XUL not fulfilled the expectations that have been inserted into it. The only big vendor that supports it is Mozilla. A the role of native non-web applications will certainly gradually decrease. So I have long wondered if I should devote time to this project. But XULRunner is actively developed and certainly in the long term will also. It is good enough for our needs and it is very close to the web development so possible future switch to HTML5 or something similar would be natural. From this point it is maybe better time investition than native UI bindings.
It seems Mozilla is already actively working and proposing new HTML5 APIs like this one added to just released Firefox 16 : Getting started with making Web Apps https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Apps/Getting_Started After all that HTML5 infrastructure will be in-place, they will IMHO provide a painless transition from XUL as well.
