Very much agree with opposition to move away from HTML/CSS/JavaScript. All
are more mature now. But the others may insulate developers a bit from the
cross-browser headaches. There will be places to use them but that should
be the exception rather than the rule.

"XAML and the sun - it the same - don't look directly into it"
LOL... how true. However, even MS will tell you, unless you're a tool
vendor, don't use XAML directly. It's not meant for human consumption,
unless you're one of those uber-geeks that likes to play with fire. Any
_business_ developer that is learning XAML is nuts! Give it a release
and we'll be rather well abstracted away from it.
Having said that, I oppose any move away from HTML! You can get pretty
damn rich (UX wise) with just HTML and javascript. Introducing
Silverlight, Flash, Flex, JavaFX, whatever, is just trying to use
applets and activex again with different names... Didn't work too well
the first time around.
