I imagined a world of apps designed with xaml /me shudders

  Why? Doesn't it suit designing apps better than HTML or anything?

    you tell me. Real world examples lead me to believe otherwise..

  After doing that for the last four years, the prospect of focusing again in Web is what makes me shudder.

  Interesting, i've had the exact opposite feeling with XAML. I've written a bunch of Silverlight and WPF, and always felt it to be probably the best UI framework i have worked with. Certainly beats all the web frameworks, and imho it was also better than Swift and Interface Builder.

    I mostly like WPF (and use it a lot), but there are a few design issues that drive me nuts. The most common one is ObservableCollections--if I have a List in the model that is going to update as something happens, how do I bind that to something in the view? Does my model throw events that trigger the Viewmodel to update an ObservableCollection? In Angular it's trivially easy to bind to an array and have it update. In WPF, it's hard enough that I architect my applications around that one single problem.

    Great point!
