I should have mentioned that I don't actually have a problem with WPF or Xaml from a technical standpoint (I've been watching several Pluralsight and MSVA courses and the binding certainly looks very powerful). My wavering between WPF/C# vs HTML/JS/C# is more about where I think development will be going in the future and how that works out for me professionally. That is why I really was hoping WinJS would take off so I could get the best of both worlds, being able to develop for an OS (WP/Win8) I actually enjoy but also not letting my web dev skills atrophy. I'm very curious to see if WinJS gets mentioned at Build this year or if it will fade quietly into the background.
