I just want to point out that for years Microsoft told us to abandon WinForms and jump on WPF. Now we're years later and Winforms keeps getting new features.
They didn't add anything significant to the language this year. Maybe next year we will get new extensions feature.
Is there a development environment for this which is graphical and interactive and as easy-to-use as say Visual Basic 1.0 or Livecode (formerly Runtime Revolution which was a HyperCard clone)?
It's always a bit amusing to see comments like "ooh, large performance improvements, that's great" and "meh, no new shining language features, maybe next year" next to each other, but it does show that there is a healthy variety in the user base.

Large performance improvements.
