Hi,
why isn't it possible to export text as an WPF/E XAML Text element. I currently get all my text exported as a path instead. I'm missing something?

I'm assuming you're talking about the Expression Designer again. I think the reason you're seeing that is because Expression Design is really for creating graphics, not neccessarily for doing things like what WPF/E is used for. Think of it more like Paint rather than Word.
What we really need is for Blend to support WPF/E. :)
Yes, of course, I would like to see Blend as WPF/E editor, too, and what I know Microsoft will do that. It makes no sense that a subset of XAML (WPF) couldn't be managed with it. But with Blend you are not able to create graphics as you can do it with Expression Designer, or I'm wrong?

We're currently working on improved tooling for WPF/E and I realize it's painful where we are today. The workflow I usually use is to do the rich graphics in Design then switch to Blend for the WPF/E XAML (including the text). It's painful, but possible to structure your XAML in a way that the WPF/E XAML is WPF compliant, or you can do some design in a WPF project and copy chunks of XAML into your WPF/E project.
Hope this helps and sorry for the painful workflow, we're working on it!
