Windows feels to me like it's completely directionless at this point. From the outside it appears to be a large collection of teams that are not collaborating but doing their own thing in their corners. Some of the features they've delivered have been great, like no longer having to bother with installing additional antivirus. Others like the control panel, which really sits at the center of the Windows operating system, come across as very fragmented and half-baked. I wish they really would come together and rework some of the core UI from the ground up. Be bold for once.

As hard believer on UWP I must acknowledge that this seems to be true, the WinUI / Project Reunion teams seem to try to salvage what is left of UWP ideals, while handwaving have lost the trust we had on the technology, trying to sell us the idea to keep hanging to WIP reboot that will take years to undo why they have been pushing during the last 10 years. Starting new desktop projects in MFC/WPF/Win32 seems to be a more long term safer bet than wishing WinUI/Reunion will still deliver. In any case I am curious if BUILD 2021 will change my current position.
