So many red flags in such a quick succession. The setup page (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/get-started/get-set-up https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/get-started/get...) says you have to download Visual Studio, enable your device for development and register as an app developer. The latter two indicate just how much control MS has of your machines, you have to pretty please ask MS if it's ok to make your own programs, the former shows that they still can't make a decent API and need an IDE to do all the work, conveniently locking you into their tool suite. A little bit later this is confirmed when the show you hello world (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/get-started/create-a-hello-world-app-xaml-universal https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/get-started/cre...) which instantly creates a mess of json, xml and c# for you so you don't realize how ridiculously complicated it all is. For reference, here's hello world with GTK (https://developer.gnome.org/gtk-tutorial/stable/c39.html https://developer.gnome.org/gtk-tutorial/stable/c39.html), a single c file and single line instruction to compile it. Here's one for Qt (https://doc.qt.io/archives/3.3/tutorial1-01.html https://doc.qt.io/archives/3.3/tutorial1-01.html). Show me a WinUI equivalent of those 2 pages and I'll be more impressed than I am by a slick marketing page.
