That’s why I mention performance critical
> wpf is still heavily used in industry
But is anything new being made with wpf? Because that’s why I left that area.
- sitzkrieg 3y agoi actually am working on greenfield wpf currently but ill be first to admit thats an exception. windows shop still reach for it heavily in "boring" industry in my experience. there is a difference between performance critical and sloppy of course. most people default to heavy crap cuz its good enough, or a good fit sometimes, i get that and this is coming from someone who had to use wpf for software where it ended up too slow in all rendering paths despite MS "trust us bro" and had to render using directx directly. not super uncommon but we were paying the price early (.net fw 3, fuzy wpf text, vibrating layouts, the good days)
- Tomte 3y ago> but ill be first to admit thats an exception No, that‘s very common. I‘m peripherally involved in such a greenfield project, too. And my employer is (very) slowly switching existing WinForms applications to WPF. It‘s the new thing. (I know that there are a handful newer MS GUI frameworks, but for us it‘s new)
- sitzkrieg 3y agointeresting, i was wpf old hat and had to justify it vs winui3 (directly) and maui they are both too new
- neonsunset 3y agoYes, but that's against common advice to use AvaloniaUI instead.
