The Great Comparison:Part 1a - GUI

Well, I've finished my Silverlight Interface for my project. Here's what I grade it.

Time to Develop: 35 minutes - Grade: 4
Difficulty to Develop: Easy - Grade: 5
Community Support: Enough - Grade 4.5
Fun : Fun for the first time - 4.5

Average score: 4.5

Explanation:
Well, Xaml certainly is fun to work with, a little complicated, but still fun. Part of the GUI was creating basic functionality for my buttons, such as click effects and roll overs. This is where the fun stopped... I build a generic button componant to cut down on the tediousness of placing them around. I also added a list area, though with no list control, I'm a little worried about that section. Over all, it was fairly quick, and the UI looks nice.
