IBM Notes 9 Browser Plug-in, Why do I want Xpages anymore?

So I installed the beta IBM Notes 9 today, Love it so far. Mainly been playing with the web browser plug-in.

I am constantly asking myself, why do Xpages now. I know Xpages, I teach the classes, but form a purely fiscal standpoint, how can i justify the expense of doing my apps with Xpages when the plug-in works so well?   (Click in the image to view full size)



I have tried some code i use to update the ACL form the application itself, so non-managers can add team members to a Teamroom db, and it worked perfectly, no rewriting the code to work as ssjs or a server agent call from the Xpage. What's not to like?


I want as many opinions on this as I can get. I find myself recommending solutions to clients an want to be able to answer this intelligently.

So what will it be?  Xpages? or the the Note 9 Browser Plug-in?
