) Ability to leverage .NET developer pool -Who will have to do JS scripting 2) Performance (I'm guessing WPF will be faster due to the CLR) CLR extends to the XAML implementation. What speed are you referring too? Render speed? 3) Vastly (sorry, Adobe) superior IDE/developer tools (at least at this point - I'm hoping FB3 really steps it up) Which only run on Windows. Nice way to get the design community in. 4) Cross-platform is not important if you know all of your users will be running Windows WPF/e is crossplatform to the extent of PC/MAC + IE6 + Firefox 1.5+ Safari or another mozilla based project.

It's unproven, has 0 market share, is not truly cross-platform, and on and on...
