Silverlight or MVC for web development

Question

I was just interested in opinions. What do you think helps accelerate web application development? Silverlight or .Net MVC?

And can Silverlight replace a real http web application?

Feel free to write or give as many details as possible.

Answer 1

can Silverlight be a true replacement for a true http web application?

No. Just as Flash cannot, Silverlight and any other presentation viewing plugin will never be an acceptable replacement for good HTML.

I can give a million reasons, but here are the main points:

• Availability of plugins (especially on other platforms, phones, etc.)
• HTML
