What's so special about WPF? I'm asking, since I've never used it.
Isn't it basically XML? wxWidgets has XRC which is the declarative way
of making the UI.

I'd have to say that the most interesting thing about it is the separation of Look from Implementation. You can create any look you want without changing the implementation at all. The fact that it uses XML is mostly to make it easy to use existing XML parsers to load and instantiate the UI. That's just my 0.02$


So is it like the Flash GUI where you can skin every control in a way similar to using CSS on a web site?

Well, I don't know flash, but it is a bit like CSS in that you can completely change the look, WPF is just more flexible than CSS about how you do it.
