In the professional world, mixing your code and layout are absolute no-no's. UI programming 101 stuff.
That said, this isn't a professional environment. If people are more comfortable in pure code, let them use pure code. Bugs and maintenance headaches caused by this aren't likely to lose anyone money or cause direct harm to a 'business'. People are writing these add-ons for fun, and in many cases aren't professional software engineers. Provided their style of coding isn't directly causing client issues (high memory and/or CPU usage), I'm all for letting people do things the way they are comfortable and find fun.
Personally I'll be going the route of using XML and virtual XML templates for my UI, as that's the environment I feel comfortable in coming from a professional web and WPF background. The idea of layout markup being fundamentally separated from the code is like a warm blanket for me.
