I'd like Microsoft to succeed with a new vision for the Windows desktop but IMO the current style isn't it. As for the framework itself, it seems needlessly complicated to get started. The XAML based frameworks use a whole different paradigm from web development or classical RAD tools. And it's hard to take Microsoft UI frameworks seriously when they hardly use them outside of the core Windows apps. VS Code, Teams, even the VS installer are all Electron apps.

"And it's hard to take Microsoft UI frameworks seriously when they hardly use them outside of the core Windows apps. VS Code, Teams, even the VS installer are all Electron apps. " that's the problem. How can you have faith in their frameworks if they don't use them themselves?

  It isn't just having faith, by not using these frameworks themselves they are not "dogfooding" them to find issues.
