I haven't seen a single good looking, well designed, or interesting silverlight site..
It seems, to make one you have to use Visual Studio with a Silverlight plugin, and that a lot of the scripting is C#..
Anyone see anything that doesn't suck?

- Flash is sort of patched together. Silverlight will eventually catch up.uberdesigner
- They can't even get their own page to work with their own plugin. Typical MS getting in the way of MS's success.tommyo

Silverlight isn't meant to "beat" Flash.

I think Silverlight appeals to windows application developers that want to do RIA's.
That's who it's for. I gather.. but.. they push it like it's a flash replacement.
- This doesn't make sense to me based on what I know Flex/AIR is capable of. Could you explain.dMullins
- A windows app developer is already familiar with VS and C#. Not a slant against AIR.winnie_the_shit

developers have a hard on for silverlight because they can port all their VB and C# apps to the web.
Designers are not interested in silverlight at all - so basically all (almost) silverlight sites are rubbish and ill always be rubbish.

there is talk of exporting websites directly to silverlight and it just.. 'working' I just hope it wont be another Front page and having to deal with supporting it...
