I've very recently worked with Xamarin Forms for about 5 full-time months and it was terrible.
My main complaints are:
* It's full of bugs
* The build system is unreliable and mysteriously breaks, which generally takes a full day to fix
* Basic functionality such as merging resource dictionaries (which are stylesheets, kinda) is missing
* No graphical UI designer or preview, so every layout change requires a recompile and deploy before you can see it
* Apps feel sluggish and crash at runtime without specific error messages
* It makes VS crash all the time. I'm not a regular VS user so I'm not sure if VS:CE2015 is a POS or if Xamarin is.
- zihotki 10y agoActually they've released Xamarin Forms Previewer - https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/xamarin-forms/xaml/xaml-previewer/ https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/xamarin-forms/xaml/xaml... It's still a bit buggy but does the job in most cases. Also the latest version of Xamarin is way more stable.
