While I admire your desire to please the end user, I’d like to call bs; if it’s fun, you’ll use it. Having the ability to create kick ass GUI’s with a really cool tool that works like After Effects would rock and there are tons of people who’d pay for that, user-testing or not. I’m not implying we’d convert, but certainly think it’d be fun as heck for the first 2 versions to moonlight as a Sparkle programmer.. that is, unless it really takes off.

I mean, heck dude, I we get like Direct X in an AS3 like language, that’s off the hook! I’m assuming when you say it’s limited, you just mean it’s reach compared to the Flash Player.

Ok, that’s enough exclamation marks for now.

I never said Sparkle sucks. I don’t think it sucks – I just don’t think it’s all that and a bag of chips like MS wants everyone to think. For desktop apps – I think it’s quite interesting – I just wonder how much it will really benefit the end user.

Now WPF/E – while I’m not going to out right say ‘sucks’ – isn’t nearly as impressive as I had hoped. It is sooo limited that it’s not even funny.
