I think one of the main reasons to choose WPF, would be that it's much easier to transform your project into a Silverlight application if you would need it.
yes, if you want to use SL then that can be useful. but still, though SL is subset of WPF, SL is designed to use browser specific, cross-platform applications. While WPF is truly intended for desktop applicaitons.
Yes, exactly. If the author in the future would like to go towards a hosted solution, or perhaps support both a hosted and offline (desktop) solution, they would definitely benefit from being in the WPF world instead of WinForms.
Also, I must give some coudos towards Silverlight as a framework for business apps (LOB). I think this is the ideal platform for business apps: As a coder, you get to write c# (or vb.net) code in all layers, client, business logic and persistence. You skip all problems with installation and specific hardware related issues, and you get the possibility to always have your clients on the latest version (in other words no upgrade problems). But still, you get a great user experience (similar to WPF). I think the user flow of business apps has for far to long been dull and non userfriendly. Let's change that! :)
