Just rolling out a WPF LOB application to about 400 municipal locations. Not heavy on the eye-candy but very heavy on databinding.
WPF is custom made for LOB! Many drawbacks (ie no refactoring) were recently fixed in SP1, but tools are still, to put it mildly, retarded.

There's a really steep learning curve, but it is worth it.
Tasks that used to be huge are trivial now, and conversely, tasks that used to be dead simple are near impossible.
