The answer for awhile was definitely no, but now it's yes. They have re-committed to both WinForms and WPF. I would suggest that, when it comes to Microsoft technology, you don't want the hyped solution. You want the boring stable solution. Following Windows trends is a path straight to development hell. If you wanted something new and exciting you'd be writing a web app in the first place.
- minimouse 5y agoWhat do you mean by "now"? Did something happen this month? WPF and WinForms haven't seen much at all for... a long time. This comment sums it up well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29424984 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29424984
- electroly 5y ago.NET 6 was released last month. This is the first release when you can reasonably use Windows Forms and WPF with .NET Core; they've spent a few years getting those frameworks to that point. I'm not sure that addresses what the other commenter is talking about, though. In this thread we were talking about "maintenance" and "future-proofing" but that commenter is talking about major new features; I'm not sure that we're talking about the same things.
