Still no any sane official library to support GUI in .NET CORE...

  Did you try uno?

  They are working on MAUI https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/what-is-maui https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/what-is-maui

  MAUI (.NET Multi-platform App UI) is the new thing in cross platform UIs. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-net-multi-platform-app-ui/ https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-net-multi-... Unfortunately I don't know much about it yet, it's not my area. Is it not sane?

    I've never heard of it but I'll keep it on my radar. I love the idea of having a universal GUI using C#. I haven't done much android development, but I only know that it would be a tad less tedious if I didn't have to deal with android studio.

      Maui is Xamarin.Forms. It is undergoing renovation to compete with React Native, Flutter and the self rendered stacks.

  Have a look at this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/ Example: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-net-multi-platform-app-ui/#mvu https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-net-multi-...

  Not official, but I have had good experiences with AvaloniaUI, which sticks very close to WPF and is part of the .NET foundation umbrella. It inherits quite a lot of what made WPF mature and robust

  This was my question - anything like even windows Forms (which was a super easy way to get little apps together). Microsoft went crazy with their GUI approaches for a while - just straight insanity for little purpose that I could see.

    .NET 5 supports WinForms and WPF, just Windows only.
    • slownews45 5y ago
      Fantastic - I could never get the designer working right but after all the whiplash of microsofts UI approaches I've moved away so have no current experience. Good to hear its supported.
      • WorldMaker 5y ago
        I find "whiplash" comments interesting. Microsoft has been relatively consistent since Vista, everything post-Vista XAML based. Some of the runtimes (which .NET versions are supported, what if any other languages are supported) and brands have shifted every five years or so, but there are lines of consistency from start to finish, and upgrade paths at nearly every stage, and XAML is generally XAML throughout. Things have generally been well supported for good maintenance lifetimes at each stage. (With the shortest probably being Silverlight, and its extended security support hasn't even expired yet, even if no one should have built new apps against it in at least five or six years now and no modern browser has supported running them.) Compared to Win32 not changing much since roughly 1995 or so, it's wild and constantly shifting, but compared to say JS frontend frameworks it's more stable than a lot of things people are doing in UI.

  What's wrong with WPF or WinForms? It's not cross-platform, of course. Or is that not sane enough? :-D
