Whats wrong with the C apis, did microsoft remove them? I think the best solution to these fickle, buggy new frameworks is to just use what was always there and hopefully would be always supported in future. Moreover it seems many of these new frameworks are strongly tied to a specific language C# instead of a simple C api that can be used from any language. It simply is creating problems for yourself if you choose to select such kinds of technologies.
The latter point is especially ridiculous. We only see "blessed languages" in blatantly user hostile platforms like mobile till now. There weren't blessed languages in desktop till now, and its strange to see this coming to desktops.
