Oh, small lies, nobody noticed... GUI is not cross-platform in .NET 5 which is not visible on the graphic.

  No Lies! Mono already supports cross platform winForms, and recently the ability to embed Xamarin.Forms views in both mobile and desktop.

    But isn't winforms pretty much legacy? Microsoft has been encouraging the use of WPF.

      Looks fine to me! https://github.com/dotnet/winforms/pulse https://github.com/dotnet/winforms/pulse I don't know much about WPF, but it seems to be in an odd place with UWP. The fact there are no plans to port WPF MacOS/Linux, combined with the increasing emphasis on cross-platform... I'm curious where it goes from here.

      Xamarin.Forms is not Win Forms AFAIK. Legacy or not, Win forms would be better then nothing. For that to happen GDI+ need to be ported to core and for WPF to happen DirectX needs to be ported to core. Its all into UWP now. So I guess it will not happen soon. MS should reboot IMO.

        GDI+ is available on .NET Core as Mono.Drawing, I think. Windows Forms is tied to a lot of Win32, though, so GDI+ alone isn't really enough.

        I mean that the Mono project has already ported WinForms to macOS and linux.

    That is not the same, there are other cross-platform libraries. Give it OTB.
