Totally clear that mainstream desktop is Windows, native and .NET but the question again and since there are rarely new apps on Windows: who is actively developing new desktop apps in C#, .NET on Windows which are not games?
- coldtea 10y ago>who is actively developing new desktop apps in C#, .NET on Windows which are not games? Almost everybody doing in-house enterprise desktop apps (and those are a heck of a lot) and tons of people doing desktop Windows apps that don't need to be C++ (e.g. not Photoshop, Office and co). Again, those are in the tens or hundreds of thousands. Check any Windows app review site or repo for examples.
- fauigerzigerk 10y agoA lot of financial institutions use .NET for in-house desktop apps.
- AndrewDucker 10y agoWe write a lot of desktop apps in-house. It is _massively_ faster to write a quick UI in .Net than it is to write one in HTML.

- pjmlp 10y agoHow come there are rarely new apps on Windows? I have been doing WPF development in the last two years for enterprise customers. Also as a Windows user, there are plenty of applications to choose from.

- yread 10y agoI just made one today. Took me about two hours to make a simple app for reviewing ~GB sized slides from digital microscope. I haven't written any in the past 5 years, though. I'm still blown away by how much more efficient I'm with Windows Forms compared to anything on the web.
- EpicEng 10y agoThere is a lot of code being written outside of your bubble. I don't mean that in a negative way; we all have our own bubble, but you have to appreciate that what you're into does not represent the industry as a whole.
