How was your experience with UWP?
- snomad 9y agoOverall, not sure, part frustrated, part liking it. Good C# is fantastic Between the Community Toolkit and Telerik's UWP UI, there are some fantastic open source controls available for reuse. Bad XAML editing can be frustrating, the visual state setters don't recognize the local properties, which leads to a lot of copy/paste and no help w/errors (e.g. TextBlock.RelativePanel.AlignTopWithPanel is wrong and should be TextBlock.(RelativePanel.AlignTopWithPanel), but intellisense gives no hint). Using the new x:Bind I couldn't get blend to show design time data, it only showed the property names, which is misleading when you have a long property name holding a small string value. There are a whole bunch of other little frustrations like those 2 above, the net effect of which is a minor aversion to the XAML side of things.
