@LennyOyea XNA is 100% pure programming. No Drap and drop or anything like that. XNA is not a program its a framework meaning it just has a bunch or pre-made methods which make it faster and more to-the-point.
XNA is very good, but there is absolutely no way to get the game on a Mac without learning another language like C++ and re-writing the whole game again. I dont think that microsoft will make it cross platform because, well, it's Microsoft.
Once you can make the games for cross platforms, then I'll use XNA. Until then its not worth the effort to learn it. And what I mean by cross platforms is not only for Windows.. but for Linux and MAC as well. And so far, I don't see this happening. So XNA is not worth it. I hope that MS proves me wrong on this.
I hope XBLIG is kept for the xbox 720

Sounds like gamemaker to me. It's a shame that game programming won't require any skills anymore.

prevents people from using their products to help other companies.
