Re: XAML is good, but the threat is Avalon

Eh? Being able to scale an interactive diagram has nothing to do with the widget set used for standard applications. I would be very surprised if you could build such an interface with real widgets and have it practically usable - you'd be much better off writing a custom widget, just like you would now. These kind of special purpose diagramming applications have been built for years, without any of the things that Microsoft is proposing.

I'm not suggesting that some of these things aren't nice, but if you think they are absolutely necessary right now (and for mission-critical applications no less!) then I think you've been letting Microsoft whisper into your ear too long.
