Aesthetic differentiation is an interesting consideration, but even aside from that the native UI framework options are currently not practical for applications like Office. Like, their options are:
- Wait for WinUI 3, hope it’s good+stable enough eventually
- XAML Islands which I hear is super buggy and janky
- WinUI 2.x which constrains them to an AppContainer. Not gonna happen for an app as big+legacy as Office
- WPF which is on life support
- pjmlp 6y agoUnfortunately you forgot a dot there, "Wait for WinUI 3.x", with x probably being quite big. https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/blob/master/docs/roadmap.md https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/blob/master/d...
