WPF is dead in the sense that Microsoft doesn't want to be promoting a non-cloud, non-mobile technology.
Which is strange, since this is the only place where they still dominate and offer tangible advantages over practically all other fat client solutions. Java desktop UIs are dead (except from Eclipse, which is a walking zombie despite their e4 efforts), and there are not many other options if you want a solution that supports bidirectional data binding.
The recent trend of using web applications inside a Webkit/Chromium container has a strange attraction, as convoluted as this solution is.
