> Maui is built on top of UWP, in what concerns Windows backend. No it is not, how is that going to work on Mac? It is it's own thing, and on Windows it will use WinUI not UWP.

Learn before commenting. WinUI is UWP stack, that is what Reunion is all about, merging both worlds with WinUI on top. Plenty of blog posts where to find such information.

  How about before being a condescending person YOU do some reading? https://microsoft.github.io/microsoft-ui-xaml/about.html https://microsoft.github.io/microsoft-ui-xaml/about.html "WinUI 3 works with any app supported by the Windows App SDK. WinUI 3 can be used DIRECTLY as the UI layer for desktop apps, or starting next year, it can be used to modernize a Win32 app's UI gradually, using XAML Islands to mix and match with the following technologies: WPF WinForms MFC ComCtl32" Or here: https://www.thurrott.com/dev/206351/microsoft-confirms-uwp-is-not-the-future-of-windows-apps https://www.thurrott.com/dev/206351/microsoft-confirms-uwp-i... Oh and look here: http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/flow/item/24274_WindowsUWPdevelopmenttobedepre.php http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/flow/item/24274_WindowsUWPde... And finally from the last link: "You can use WinUI 3 as the entire UI layer for your desktop app, replacing your current main UI framework." You are probably thinking of XAML which is common to all. Please do your own research before shitting on someone.

    My dear, if you read throughout the mess that was UWP marketing, UWP is basically IInspectable + .NET Metada instead of TLB + App identity. I advise you to read about the low level WinRT and COM programming, instead of articles like those from Thurrot. How much COM and WinRT programming, including XAML Islands have you done? Start with the BUILD sessions from 2019, to see how everything fits together. Learn how WinRT types get exposed to WinUI via XAML Islands, to split APIs from underlying OS version, all written in COM using the same WinRT types.
