I am personally a huge fan of win32. I was even a ReactOS contributor at one point because of this. That being said, it wasn’t scalable without major changes. Thankfully most win32 apps still work on Windows.

It is like Windows Development team has something against nice tooling for COM, only man with hard bear are supposed to handle it. /s
