The critical features missing from HTML are data binding and data templates. Last time I checked, many modern frontend frameworks contain overcomplicated, incomplete, and inefficient implementations of these features on top of HTML DOM.
- diggan 3y agoI'm not super familiar with Microsoft's offerings, but is WPF available cross-platform? It's hard to argue something that is only on one platform is better when it only have to do 25% of what a cross-platform solution would do.
- Const-me 3y agoSadly, WPF is Windows-only. There’s an equivalent cross-platform GUI framework called Avalonia https://www.avaloniaui.net/ https://www.avaloniaui.net/ I don’t have a hands-on experience with it, but based on the internets I have an impression the tech is pretty good by now.
