OK -- I read through the replies and thought I'd add my 2cents worth.

Silverlight is very good if you have a development staff that is more WinForm-centric but needs to do web development. There is a learning curve for XAML, but it is worth it.

The learning curve for XAML is lessened if you also invest in Expression Blend. I actually feel that you cannot develop Silverlight without it, as it gives you the WYSIWYG interface that WinForm developers lean towards.

The application is stateful even though it is a web app. It also follows much of the WCF construct but uses a lighter-weight framework. The idea is that even if a machine does not have the .NET framework on it, the Silverlight install will implement what is needed. The concept works well in theory but in practicallity you still need the Silverlight Toolkit which also has to be installed on the implementing machine, as this contains controls not in the Silverlight framework.

The previous statement, as you can see, is both a pro and con of Silverlight deployment. Using controls outside of the framework requires some additional installations.

I personally find Silverlight to be the easiest way to deploy web applications without having to learn the 4-inch-thick ASP.NET book. It keeps me more in my knowledge base of service/form development. I also find that I can do better UI development. For example, I have a customer maintenance program where the customer can have 3 different types of data to maintain. Using the Swivel behaviour, I was able to keep the UI VERY clean and gives the user a 'cool' UI experience. Clicking a button to view billing address swivels the customer address around to display the billing address. Clicking the return button swivels things back.
