I agree.

The question is whether there's enough of a market between broad-based professional apps and web apps to justify maintenance of the WPF/.NET stack.

How is the maintenance of WPF/.Net better or worse than the JavaScript flavor of the week and Browsers that are now updated weekly - if not faster?

I can understand a "Is it worth the maintenance?" question...

but I would bet .Net has better longevity and Enterprise support compared to the rapidly evolving landscape of HTML/CSS/Javascript.

Well, at least WPF has stayed in existence, relatively unchanged, for what would be eons in JS framework-years.
