As much as I love .NET, I just can't get excited about Silverlight. When you require your users to install a new plugin, it raises the barrier to entry pretty significantly -- especially when you're talking about technical users.
Personally, I took a different route: I created a Python->Javascript compiler with a real macro system. Allows me to quickly hack damn near anything together and keeps me away from JS (which I can't stand, largely for aesthetic reasons), without imposing anything at all on my users.
