Given the specification, size and cost of the Raspberry Pi, that should have been rather obvious.
The limitations of the Pi with respect to XBMC are widely known and acknowledged, don't blame the community for your own unrealistic expectations.

No, don't use a Raspberry Pi for XBMC if you have unrealistic expectations and requirements, such as running full fat skins and lots of addons.
I didn't had any experience with XBMC but knew it was a good piece of software. It's only obvious to the people that worked with XBMC before, I can imagine. I wouldn't say expecting a decent responsive UI is a unrealistic expectation.
I didn't say I expect it to run smoothly with a full fledged skin and addons, I said I want XBMC to run with that. In my experience the Raspberry Pi can't even handle all my hundreds of movies/tv shows with the default skin and no addons installed, which is pretty bad.
