What is the common or recommended GUI framework [1] (or whatever the right term is) on Windows these days?
Also, I think I read a few times on other HN threads, somewhat recently, that the GUI development scene on Windows is a mess these days, because MS changes the recommended framework every now and then. Is that true?
[1] By framework, here, I mean the layer such as WinForms or WPF, that GUI developers program to.
- Loocid 3y agoThere are newer frameworks like MAUI but I believe WPF is the most common for pure Windows development. It's the best mix of modernity and stability. WinUI3 is coming but I don't think it's properly supported yet. There's also Avalonia if you want cross platform (not first party). Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I've been in WinForms land for a while (unfortunately).
