XCP Designer 2.1-Introduction

I am currently working on XCP Designer 2.1 POC.  I must say it's a wonderful learning experience.
Designer is an excellent product which gives you opportunity for rapid application development.  Create everything at one place and it gives you one step deployment. 

XCP Designer provides you an interface which is a combination of Composer(to create artifacts), Forms Builder(to create UI pages), Process Builder(to create workflow templates) along with facility to generate Reports. The only thing missing here is no way to write a DFC/Java code. You still need to use eclipse/composer for this.
hmm...I can guess now your reaction must be a wow :)

So here is the list of tasks you can do in XCP designer.
1) Object Model(Content and Folders)
2) Workflow Design -Stateful/ Stateless Design
3)  Define Roles, Permission Sets etc
4) Picklists (this is same as value assistance)
5) Action Flows
6) Page Fragments
7) Application UI Pages(This is with respect to content types/folders/processes)
8) Create real time and task queries
9) Create endpoints(To connect with repository/ FTP server/ Database/SMTP server etc)
10) Define Relationships between objects
