It certainly looks different, but you lose all the nice error checking 
that the compiler does for you, you lose the code completion feature and 
whatnot, hell that FMXL doesn't even have a schema.. 
On the other hand you'll have a good overview over the scene graph. I'd 
only use that feature if my GUI must be changeable without recompiling.
I consider FXML a good format for GUI-Designers, that's all.

Kind regards,
Wanja
