RE: dismay, I was thinking of a previous article I saw here on HN:

although it seems that was a bit over-sensationalized. I agree that at least reasonable SL developers will fall into your two buckets.

Yeah, sounds a bit over-sensationalized.

Microsoft is probably silent because they're not sure what technology the final project will use. Some exec could've ignorantly opened their mouth about "html5+js" and left the Win8 engineers groaning.

It'd pretty clear to me that .NET/Silverlight/WPF aren't going away. They are too popular and there's too much activity around those technologies.
