Just in case, "WPF vs Sciter": https://sciter.com/sciter/sciter-vs-wpf/ https://sciter.com/sciter/sciter-vs-wpf/ Essentially Sciter is a crossplatform WPF but using HTML/CSS instead of XAML. As for me (I am an author of Sciter) the biggest disappointment was the way how styles were implemented in WPF/XAML. Even in 2006 it was clear that style cascading (contextual inheritance) is the way to go. It appears as XAML was not designed from the very beginning to be human readable - just trendy ("XML everywhere" in 2006) replacement of VB's .FRM files. .FRM files were even more human readable/editable ( notation was quite close to YAML).
