title: Is it better to use WPF over Windows Forms?
body: <p>For a brand new application, is it better to use WPF over Windows Forms? I used Windows Forms before but not much WPF. As far as I know, WPF is the successor to Windows Forms, right?</p>
  
  <p>The application is going to host DirectX Windows (not WPF 3D, but <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managed_DirectX" rel="noreferrer">Managed DirectX</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SlimDX" rel="noreferrer">SlimDX</a>) with lots of custom controls.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: The application is a 3D related application, editor, such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modo_%28software%29" rel="noreferrer">modo</a>:</p>
