Tis true! I am getting into it a bit ... It reminds me a lot of MS Frontpage when it first hit the market. Loads of potential, but a few rough edges around the outside. I'm in the "legos" stage now, where I learn a simple technique, document the heck out of it, and then stick it in the library. Once I get enough blocks, I start building with them. Silverlight 3 is enticing for me as I can program once and use it for the desktop and for the web. I'm using C# for code-behind now, and it's all XAML up front. They've done a nice job with Expression Blend, the GUI toolset. It has fair depth and does a nice job reducing the amount of code you have to write for simple apps and animations, especially if you add in some of the extras and toolkits that are up on the Silverlight website. Most of these include source code as well, so it has been a great learning experience thus far: I've used the "legos" to build a simple media player, twitter tool, photo carousels, and some basic animations. If you decide to check it out, please let me know if I can help you out if you get stuck on something.
