What's the point of XML?

Just to be provocative, I thought I might pose the question. I have done a tutorial on xml, but it doesn't seem to do anything. As far as I know, you have to make a program that understands your xml and if you are going to do that, you may as well use javascript, php, java or some other language that describes and contains data without forcing you to make a program to interpret your code. I hava also heard that you can use xml to economize downloads by sending them down in packages. How is that done? Does rss feed work on the same principle? Just a bit of controversy to get you going.
Thanks for your help.
