I am new at Visual Studio, or to some degree new, although I've had a few classes in C#. I am new in the sense of my commitment to learning Visual Studio.

So, in reading CODE Magazine early this morning, I read an article about the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and how Windows Foms will no longer be updated or enhanced by Microsoft in Visual Studio, which means the VS 2010 version coming out next year will have no new "stuff" for Windows Forms. Is WPF that good and fantastic that Microsoft will completely abandon any work on Windows Forms?

My question is really this:

What makes Windows Presentation Forms so great? I'd just like a layman's level of understanding on this subject.

Of course, the Microsoft God has spoken and so we go with WPF, but I am curious as to what the reasons are.
