WPF’s and Android’s approach are the best of both worlds. You get both a visual designer that can get you far, and human-editable XML, which is useful for more complicated layouts or for copy-pasting similar widgets around.
- DeathArrow 4y agoWPF is dead, now we have MAUI for both desktop and mobile development. Let's hope MS doesn't find a new shiny thing.
- Kwpolska 4y agoWPF is definitely not dead. It may not be the latest shiny thing, but it works, it is maintained (judging by https://github.com/dotnet/wpf https://github.com/dotnet/wpf or https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/wpf-on-dotnet-7/ https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/wpf-on-dotnet-7/), and it is fully and officially supported on the modern .NET platform.
- mike_hearn 4y agoYes, note that JavaFX has the same approach but also has a visual designer (Scene Builder). It can be used from any JVM language which is a lot these days. Like, you could write a JavaFX app in JavaScript or Python if you wanted to.
