XAML? Ugh. For those of us who worked on wpf for years using xaml and then used react native this feel like someone still in denial at Microsoft.
I guess I should be happy my xaml experience is still relevant...
- the_only_law 5y agoI think I would almost like XAML is the styling of components wasn’t so god awful.
- wvenable 5y agoXAML is great except for anything involving customization or styling. All they had to do was not make it worse than HTML/CSS...
- stefan_ 5y agoI agree, XAML and WPF are vastly superior.
- dnndev 5y agoWPF is rightly put out to pasture and Xaml should have gone with it. Tooling is terrible. So much lost productivity.
- spaetzleesser 5y agoYes, the tooling was the problem. The basic concept of XAML is great in my view. If they only had improved the tooling somewhat and reworked the syntax this would have been a winner.
- ripley12 5y agoFWIW, this will be supporting Blazor in addition to XAML. So you can have a MAUI app that just handles native hosting etc. and shows your actual UI in a web view. It's admittedly confusing and not all that well explained.
- CodeWriter23 5y ago> It's admittedly confusing and not all that well explained. Can anyone help a brother out with a good repo or two that codesplains MAUI decently?
- ripley12 5y agoI think you might need to wait for that, MAUI’s still being worked on for the upcoming .NET 6 release. My understanding (based on talks and blog articles) is that it’s basically Xamarin brought up to speed with .NET 6. So it can use the SDK style projects and other modern .NET+C# features. For UI you’ll be able to use XAML (as before), a new model-view-update paradigm, or Blazor.
