No it’s really not. We’ve been left SOL on numerous occasions and the churn rate is so high that it’s literally only safe to use the bits right at the middle of their products. And we’re talking on a relatively short three year window here.
- manigandham 8y agoWhat are you talking about specifically?
- setquk 8y agoWPF, WCF churn, silverlight, appfabric/velocity, the disaster that was windows workflow etc etc
- magicalbeans 8y agoIs WPF dead? And what's it been replaced with?
- CodeCube 8y agoWPF lives :) https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2018/05/07/net-core-3-and-support-for-windows-desktop-applications/ https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2018/05/07/net-core-...
- manigandham 8y agoWPF is still supported and developed. Appfabric/velocity is now Service Fabric which has much more functionality, runs many Azure and MS cloud services, and is open source. Silverlight was unfortunate but overall good for the web. You must realize that even Flash, the vastly larger competitor, also died and gave way to much better browser native APIs. I don’t know about Windows workflow but it’s important to keep in mind the difference between abandoned products vs the changing software trends landscape.
