What WPF mess are you talking about? Aside from Visual Studio, I can't think of many first-party GUIs that are written in WPF.

- cube00 4y agoI was thinking Visual Studio, fired up 2008 on a VM with minimal specs the other day and it's amazing how fast it used to be. Admittedly I know WPF needs good graphics hardware which I'm sure Citrix is not providing. I know we need to scale for different screens but the reality is it's slower then ever on faster hardware.
- spaetzleesser 4y agoThe port of VS to WPF was definitely not a showcase for WPF capabilities. Pretty much everything was worse or slower after the port. And a ton of features was missing. Even now the customization of toolbars is not as elegant as it was on 2008. Not a surprise that they didn’t use XAML for any other big application
- ripley12 4y ago> Not a surprise that they didn’t use XAML for any other big application UWP/WinUI/Metro uses XAML and Microsoft was very committed to that for a while. UWP didn't really pan out, but that was for reasons other than XAML and WinUI IMO.
