I'm not so familiar with either to say which would be the better choice 
for any set of problems, but I'm skeptical of picking a technology 
because it's easier for a class of potential users to get started. 
(Some cursory review of XAML suggests that those familar with more 
traditonal application GUI design may find it fairly easy, as the 
elements appear to map to abstract widgets.)

Better to see which GUI markup offers the best design and "bang for the 
buck" for the long run, after the learning curve is forgotten.

Whether such a tool for Ruby should be selected for its appeal to the 
"web savvy" is a different matter.
