I don’t get why MSFT keep making the same thing over and over again. Who really cares about these abstraction layers. They produce junk apps by people who rarely care to keep up with them and go obsolete quickly.

It's great! Iteration in the space is greatly appreciated by me. Eventually we will get the cross platform UI layer that just works. We will not get there by just running Electron, React Native and others. I am super happy MSFT is having go after go at this!

>I don’t get why MSFT keep making the same thing over and over again I give them props for trying. There's nothing I would use (yet), but I do respect the grind and trying to move past failed attempts.

On the bright side, at least it's not Electron... That said, a decade ago I was not happy about .NET apps, but now they are already better than the norm --- besides the noticeably startup time, "only 2-3x more" memory consumption than the equivalent native app, and occasional pauses in the UI (GC?) they feel far more native and efficient than anything web-based. I'm a long-time Win32 programmer, so everything else feels slow and bloated.
