Until they change direction again. I was a complete .net acolyte until wasting years building projects on incomplete, politically hobbled, cool-chasing bullshit frameworks that were supposed to be finished but never were.

Most of us are building businesses apps. We just want a god damned form builder where you can double click a control and fill in the action performed code. Instead we have web tech (heaping trash fire) and several abandoned XML-based UI nightmares.

Oh, but the next XML nightmare is where it's at! ...and it will be done next year!




Web tech is awesome. Electron and WebView2 are great platforms for building desktop apps, hence why the former is so popular and why the latter is starting to see huge adoption. And WebView2 makes interopting with .NET a lot easier so it’s not either or.
