I’ve been using Visual Studio for quite some time and I find it extremely solid. I’ve also used Eclipse and VB6 and I find it to be much more user friendly and stable than either of those environments.

I was excited about Silverlight… It’s just not fully baked yet.

Maybe I’ll look again when it gets a drawing brush and tiling works.

I don’t want to “work around” the stuff to get it to work

V1 is right… a simple tour wont give the full experience..

but i do agree that XAML is verbose…

Having been working with Silverlight + C# for about 4-5 months now, i must say that its capable of extraordinary things – and the framework is really solid and feature rich.

XAML isn’t meant for hand-coding … Expression Blend is the tool for making an interface, otherwise it’ll take forever !

As i would say, U have to try out the product your self before u know if it matches your work flow or not. Same goes with SL and Flash / Flex.. They all have their up and downsides.. It just depends on the project what the smartest move would be…
