I'll stick on with Silverlight
As far as development tools is concerned, Microsoft has a far better track record of delivering "developer friendly" tools and a far better documentation and support.

Google Gears complements Silverlight rather than competes with it. Gears is almost like a nice plug-in for Silverlight.

I know there will be a number of ZDNet readers criticizing MS, but as a developer I know how easy it is for me to develop using MS tools, the ease at which I get the software, support and the huge developer community.

ASP.Net AJAX is the simplest of tools out there for AJAX applications. I have been working on Silverlight and I'm excited at the ease and power of what I can do. On the other hand, I tried installing Gears and it failed giving a 0x800040800 error. And it apparently is because I'm behind a firewall/proxy. That's cool!

Now for the criticisms....
