Developing for a client is much different than developing for the web. I see two options here. 1 - If you don't like doing client development and your true passion is in web development, quit or find a new position in the company where you can do web development 2 - Take the opportunity to learn a new language and platform. Adding a tool to your belt is never a bad thing, and as a professional programmer, getting caught up in "X is evil, I'm only going to use Y" religious thinking probably will do more to reduce opportunties than to open up new ones. Good, experienced devs use the best tool for the job, and if the only tool you have is a hammer... As for WPF, for Win client development, it's (worst case) as good a choice as any and (best case) probably the right tool for the job.
