The latest is MAUI, which seems to take a Dart/Flutter like approach.
- npalli 3y agoAs usual, the true test of whether something will stick is what apps/tools is Microsoft building with MAUI? If nothing, then good chance it is a yet another framework thrown at developers and abandoned five years later.
- DANmode 3y agoDoes this take anything away from the rest of .NET? Serious question.
- JamesSwift 3y agoWhy do you think it is similar to Dart/Flutter? MAUI is basically a dolled-up Xamarin, but catered to .net 6+ (which has the ios/android toolchains as first party TFMs so it makes it much nicer to organize projects in some ways). It also comes with a slew of new bugs : )
- mpawelski 3y agoIt's worth to note that MAUI is not cross-platform (Microsoft say it is, but for me excluding Linux desktop and calling it cross-pratform is a lie/marketing bullshit)
- bigstrat2003 3y agoThat's not true. They support Android, iOS, and MacOS. I agree it's disappointing that they don't support Linux, but it is by definition cross-platform.
- iconhacker 3y agoMAUI sucks big on desktop UI. Try Avalonia and it is 100 miles ahead of the game!
- scruple 3y agoI see that Avalonia has a XAML previewer in VSCode. That's a big selling point for me so I'll give this a try. Thanks for mentioning it!
- mardifoufs 3y agoWith all its quirks, flutter is still miles ahead of MAUI (just look at actual usage of maui, it's close to 0). And imo they both take a pretty different approach anyways.
- ygra 3y agoMAUI uses native controls, wrapped in its own system. Considering that Flutter draws everything itself I'd say that's a pretty substantial difference. It also manifests in how close to native your app can look/feel or how easy it is to integrate features of the respective native controls. Avalonia is perhaps closer to Flutter.
