It goes without saying that WPF has had a slow adoption rate for many reasons. How do you feel today (May 2011) about WPF vs. Windows Forms? If you were starting a new project would you go the WPF route? Or are you sticking to Windows Forms for now?

I have the issue with IE9 losing formatting when pasting anything copied. I'm not sure why and I haven't found the answer on google yet. This started for me with IE9. Copy anything from IE9, paste into Notepad and the CR's are lost.
