Biggest issue with WPF is that the toolset is lame and learning curve is huge. So far uptake on WPF has been very low mostly because of the issues I just mentioned. According to Microsoft WPF is the future and they have invested heavily in it. Infact next version of Visual Studio is written in WPF (http://www.onedotnetway.com/writing-visual-studio-2010-shell-in-wpf-reflects-confidence/)

However it still remains to be seen if WPF will ever become mainstream. The framework is awesome and it can do really cool stuff mostly related to eye-candy. Microsoft calls it UX but in plain English it is eye-candy. Most of the applications don't need it.
