Since it presumably generates CIL like any .NET language, you could then decompile it back into C# or VB.Net. Whether the code you get back is of any quality is another question. Tools like ILSPY aren't really designed for that purpose.

In terms of migration I would see X# as mainly being used for building DLLs that leverage existing non-UI code, and then use those assemblies in a C# solution.
