I have been prototyping and playing with xText/Xbase for few weeks. I am still lost as there are many components in the system that I have not seen.
Now, I would to understand when to use an XExpression, and when not use it. And if I need an expression, why not use XBlockExpression.
So what factors others use to decide if they need to use an expression or not.

Usually DSLs won't make any restriction on the kind of expression they allow at a certain position, so XExpression is often right. But if you would like to force that an expression has to be encapsulated in curly brackets, you go with XBlockExpression. For example, if you would like something like an Operation which has a Body, as seen in the Domainmodel example.
As always, it depends...
