You can't blame this all on backwards compatibility. Microsoft can't just stick to one successor technology and keeps obsoleting every attempt after a few years. With that approach, of course no one is going to move over.
- cosmic_cheese 1y agoThat’s one issue, but another is that they don’t make into successors full replacements. They’ve stuck to WinAppSDK aka WinUI for a while now, but it’s missing such basic elements as a datagrid/tableview which makes it difficult to take seriously as a desktop UI framework.

You can still uncover dialog styles all the way back to Windows 95-style if you poke around Windows 11 long enough. Whenever they came out with yet another successor, they haphazardly migrated a handful of P1 components and then called it a day.
