Given that Silverlight is basically going the way of the dodo and HTML 5 is on the rise, do you think WotC will remake the Character Builder in HTML 5 for 5e or do you think they'll just hack the current version to shoehorn 5e in?
Further, what do you think the rest of DDI will look like in the future? Or do you think it should just finally die? Will the Monster Builder ever get out of beta? Should we hope for HTML 5 versions or some sort of OGL that allows for character and monster builders and VTT's?
Personally I always thought that Silverlight was a poor choice and never quite understood how intelligent geeks at WotC could be sold on it as a solid option. I'd love to see totally new HTML 5 versions of all the tools, but mostly the character and monster builder, not to mention a massively overhauled Compendium that has better search options.
Plus, in HTML 5, it'll work on iPhones and iPads. Yay!
