- kelnos 2y agoAre those frameworks available in .NET 8 on non-Windows platforms, though? If not, I think that's what the GP was getting at.
- grokys 2y agoNot by Microsoft, but Avalonia has a commercial fork of WPF which runs on Linux and macOS: https://avaloniaui.net/xpf https://avaloniaui.net/xpf
- qingcharles 2y agoI think MS wants you to use this? https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/apps/maui https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/apps/maui I was pleased to see WinForms got some updates in .NET9. I really thought they'd left it. I still use it every day when I need to spin up a new tool to do some little task that needs a GUI.
- lloydatkinson 2y agoThe only people wanting anyone to use MAUI are the MAUI team and even then only half heartedly. Microsoft Build this year only discussed WinUI and WPF even. https://www.reddit.com/r/dotnet/comments/1cy2u6l/microsoft_has_slight_preference_for_winui_over_wpf/ https://www.reddit.com/r/dotnet/comments/1cy2u6l/microsoft_h...
