It really depends on your needs. For an old style desktop application (think file browser, text editor), it's ok.
But for anything modern (touch screen support, animations) it just doesn't cut it anymore. You are better off with something like Flutter.
I disagree. You can access pretty much every API Microsoft has available when you are using C or C++. Touch screen support (large targets) isn’t an issue. Animations aren’t difficult either. XAML islands is an easy way of bringing in UWP and RT stuff into a traditional desktop application.
I’m not a fan of Flutter. Desktop Flutter applications use a lot more memory and CPU and don’t feel native on Windows.
