Have you tried using Silverlight for a RIA app? Rendering a XAML file takes at least 5 seconds, and it's a process that's riddled with bugs and consumes at least 1 gig of memory. I'm sure the WinForms designer is much faster (I've never had any trouble with it in VS 2008), but the new toolkits with WPF and XAML seem to consume all the resources of my dual-core laptop with 3 gigs or RAM (a somewhat acceptable dev machine), the parser is horrendous and prone to causing unexpected exceptions, and is generally not as nice.
