I'm pretty sure WinForms is being migrated. I've built dotnet 5 WinForms apps, anyway. At least on Windows - I wouldn't bet on a Linux Gtk/Qt port any time soo

  WPF is not dead, it got open-sourced and was ported to .NET Core 3.1 onwards.

  Microsoft wouldn't let WPF die. Anyone writing enterprise desktop applications is using it heavily.

    Anyone writing enterprise desktop applications is using it heavily. I don't think there is much of that going on anymore. In reality Microsoft did let WPF languish for years, it always felt unfinished. I was very surprised when they migrated it to .Net core.

  WPF is quite alive. I had a pretty big audio processing project using WPF a while back, and when I migrated the codebase from .NET Framework to .NET Core 3.1 (and now .NET 5), there were surprisingly noticeable responsiveness improvements. I think they also have some more improvements planned for .NET 6 as well. Self plug: A while back, I split off my own WPF MVVM framework from that larger project. It's designed for building simple touch-style interfaces, like you would see on a phone/tablet: https://tinyurl.com/upbeatui https://tinyurl.com/upbeatui
