Yes, with Silverlight, it's very easy to change languages on the code-
behind, but honestly that's a superficial change. All your GUI layout
code is still .xaml, the Silverlight APIs are all the same, your IDE,
and dev stack is the same. VB is effectively a dialect of C#.

I do remember a few Silverlight flaws, but it's not worth nitpicking
at the moment. Overall Silverlight tools are definitely more mature,
JavaFX is still completely usable for programmers.

I'd like to hear the perspective from a graphics designer with a heavy
Flash background after JavaFX design tools come out.
