I still love Windows Forms and the designer. Sometimes some solutions are a bit hacky and the designer can do really weird stuff, but I can manage. I think, the standardized look and feel really works well for complex business applications.
WPF is nice for fully customized UI where you want your application to look modern, but xaml can really be daunting. And it's not only xaml, but that whole MVVM thing can be a nightmare to teach and stick to in a large team and project. Moreover you probably need some designers or an external company to design your UI's to really shine.
I would keep a close eye on MAUI [1] and where it will go. The Model-View-Update (MVU) pattern looks interesting and the cross platform aspect could be really nice.
