I have written a really nice graphing tool with the Silverlight alpha. It really does rock.
SVG is somewhat easier to create objects with, but Silverlight renders and animates incredibly quickly, probably at least 10x as fast as SVG. You can grab a complex object consisting of thousands of elements and drag it around very quickly. With Adobe SVG, you get really poor performance when you try to manipulate or scale large objects with javascript and mouse actions. Text support was really lousy in the early Silverlight betas but it is getting better with each release. Just like SVG, it is extremely easy to integrate the contents of the graphics with the page elements. It would be possible to convert SVG projects to Silverlight, but last I checked (about three months ago) it doesn't yet have any way to create object stylesheets or grouped objects like SVG. You would have to simulate this in code by actually cloning the objects rather than just creating an new instance of the group. But at the rate of current progress Silverlight should have all the kewl features you'd want and then some in about a year, especially since the clock for Adobe SVG progress got stuck many years ago, and the open source SVG implementations so far have been rather poor.
