In the era of free development tools Blend is probably never going to become mainstream, or the "default" when editing XAML.

 

Most developers are not going to buy the MSDN premium including myself.  I am an action pack subscriber, however, I think it offers a lot for the money but not Blend. 

 

Thanks again.
