What is the alternative then? How would you have created a new Windows desktop application in 2015? 2018? And yes, since 2012 there were no major changes to WP

And yes, since 2012 there were no major changes to WPF. And even these changes were small. The last truly major change came with .NET 4.0. So there was a decade of almost nothing, even while XAML evolved with UWP. It truly doesn't get any more dead than that.
Of course I'm salty. WPF promised a lot, delivered some then died. Xamarin wasn't even part of Microsoft back then. UWP is a joke. Microsoft neglected the "Win32" desktop for way too long. Now it lets the community do what it should've done ages ago.

Funny that you're arbitrarily throwing in a year, given that your OP didn't mention it, but whatever. If anything you can criticize MS for making too many UI frameworks lol. You keep calling things that are literally still supported "dead". How about you use terms with real meaning, instead of just saying things that are literally untrue... > It truly doesn't get any more dead than that. > Of course I'm salty. WPF promised a lot, delivered some then died. > We can certainly agree that neither WPF nor WinForms are dead. Okay I'm done here. I wish you the best with your salt.
