The entire UWP API was a fractal mess of poor decisions implemented sloppily, I can't say I'm surprised. There's so many footguns and glaring oversights that most people probably just gave up on it before they got this far.
- andix 4y agoMicrosoft can do a lot of things right (asp.net core and sql server are awesome products). But they really suck at creating UI toolkits and platforms. The last sane UI toolkit was Winforms, but it didn’t really evolve for 20 over years now.
- creshal 4y agoYeah, WinForms has been deprecated since 2014. Microsoft spent the last 30 years inventing and deprecating and reinventing and deprecating more UI frameworks than the entire rest of the industry combined (excluding JS frameworks).
