One of the challenges with the older methodologies was getting the damned things to look good. I distinctly remember with WinForms having to use DevExpress to get the theming to look moderately modern.
Bit I still never bothered with the later approaches because it looked like I was going to lose out on speed and ease of development. WinForms may have looked ugly but you could bang things together pretty quickly.
- scotty79 7mo agoI feel like WinForms was peak (because it was close to Delphi) and it went downhill from there.
- badsectoracula 7mo agoIMO WinForms didn't manage to reach even Delphi 2's state, so i'd say it is far from peak considering the improvements later Delphis (and now Lazarus) added. It was abandoned too soon.
- scotty79 7mo agoI meant peak for MS. > It was abandoned too soon. This is probably a recurring theme for MS UI frameworks.
