The drag and drop designer part of VS is not even what I think is cool about WPF. To me it's the architecture and the whole API. It's easy to make clean enterprise size applications with good separation of concerns (I've been a developer in the C#/WPF field for around 5 years). For other platforms - and Windows as well - the closest I know is Qt, including the drag and drop part btw. ;)

- babypuncher 7y agoThis always surprises me whenever I look into cross-platform GUI toolkits. The closest is Qt as you mentioned. What really gets me is GTK's continued popularity on Linux when Qt is so much easier to develop with.
- numlock86 7y agoProbably a side effect from the popularity of Ubuntu which - since they dropped Unity - go still strong with GTK as they use Gnome now out of the box. And Ubuntu is like the de facto standard desktop distribution.
- tracker1 7y agoProbably a hold over from Trolltech's original license for Qt. Also, GPL is a non-starter for a LOT of companies.
