The great comparison!

Ok, so I decided to test for myself whether or not to continue learning silverlight, since all I seem to run into is problem after problem, and after the problem.. a stupid work around because a certain feature isn't implemented and blah blah blah..

So, I decided to put it to the test with Flex from adobe.

Starting today, I will build the exact same program, an mp3 player that pulls a playlist from a local xml file, displays the download, play progress, and preloads the next track; in both Flex with Actionscript 3 and Silverlight using C#.Net. I will grade each section of the project for both technology as I build them, one piece at a time.
Topics to be graded are:
Time To Develop
Difficulty to Develop
Examples/Community Support
Fun

I will rate all topics from 1(lowest) to 5(highest) and explain why I gave that grade.
Since I'm already moderately proficient at AS3, I'll add 10% to all times, to equal it out.

Let the games begin!
