    React is actually way more usable than all the crap Microsoft has been pushing.

    Maybe so, but WPF is built on top of win32 which is native performance. You are trading away performance for developer “usability” and the “convenience” of writing in JavaScript

      I 100% agree. Personally I prefer to use dear imgui on top of win32 when I need to make a desktop UI but I also get the appeal behind things like Electron. I just wish Windows provided us with something that’s not completely impossible to use

        I happen to have done some C# programming around when WPF came out and I will tell you, it was way better to deal with than .NET Forms. Made things much better. So, I dunno count me as a “WPF is good” because the thing it replaced was far worse
