I would be interested to know from anyone at the Office/Outlook team why they went with what they did, and if they had any awareness of MAUI happening at all. Fully agree with the noted benefits, so any non-MAUI team insight would be really interesting
- happymellon 3y agoHas the Office team ever paid that much attention to what Windows was actually recommending? All the releases that I can think of shunned the standard UI toolkits for their own homegrown UI. Presumably to show the Windows folks that the Office team is it's own little empire.

I have teams installed on my corporate desktop but I just use the web application any other time and it's... identical. If you want an identical experience with identical code across the Web, iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux then there is only one solution.
