used to be mainly mfc programmer doing large client/server lob app suites; after dotnet, worked around five years with c# and like it (reminded me borland delphi from the college) but local .net projects keep under-delivering and growing more expensive than previous tech; so i keep being called instead to update or support mfc projects... using atl/wtl (and later powerbasic instead of vb6 to host activex).
The last few years sometimes for dynamic/customized/personalized corner case uis have been using fast AXML provided by codejock label or using css+html by terra informatica HTMLayOut/Sciter
Microsoft lost a lots of local enterprise lob custom apps with the always evolving dotnet platform and heavy resource requirements, lighter alternatives won their market
