I never heard of MediatR before today, but what do you think of message buses like IMessenger from MVVM Toolkit? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/communitytoolkit/mvvm/messenger https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/communitytoolkit/mv... I've been mostly using C# for GUI applications and recently have been thinking about relying on a message bus as the main communication device between services and view models. As you mentions that complicates the flow of logic and ones loses benefits of explicitly listing your dependencies you get by just injecting all your services via constructor parameters. But that makes it simpler to refactor complex view models and services without impacting the rest of the codebase (at least in theory, it's of course often messier in practice...).
