A little effort goes a long way
If you don't get MVVM+Blend you don't get WPF or Silverlight. When you do, the angels sing and it's a thing of beauty.
Anyone who tells you HTML5 is going to kill Silverlight/Flash, or vice versa for that matter, hasn't worked with either technology long enough to offer an opinion. I use both, they both have specific markets they serve.
