XML is a format which is nice to to store certain information in because it makes it easy to access different things you need in the file. For example configuration settings. I have worked at a couple places that use XML files for this purpose. As for using them to hold user data and such things a database would for sure be the better choice. But for a small local application, I don't see why using an XML file would be a bad thing.
