I don't particularly like WPF - I have dabbled with it, but it seems like a bastard love-child of HTML and C# and very clumsy. If MS had developed it further then it might well have been good, but at the moment it is too much of a hassle for me. MS seem to think so as well...
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.
