WPF, Xaml and the future of MS Development

Question

I am beginning to heavily invest in WPF and was wondering what those more knowledgeable than myself thought as to the wisdom of this decision. Is WPF the way forward?

Answer 1

Yes, it is the way forward.

WPF and using XAML for interfaces has completely revolutionised the way in which we develop said interfaces for our customers. The possibilities are endless, the learning curve is large, but with merit.

We can now do things in XAML that we couldn't dream of doing 3 years ago with WinForms - or things that take a few lines of code and an hour of logic that would have previously taken a full week of logic and four class files.

It's definitely the way forward for MS development, however there will always be people using WinForms.

They even developed VS2010 with WPF, that must give it something, right? ;)
