If i was in charge at MS, I'd go full return to monke and put a lot of devs into making winforms work great with 4k and high DPI. Then rebuild the most critical apps with winforms using a new layouting engine and some wpf concepts carried over. Nothing new or fancy, just old but gold.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 4mo agoHistory shows that there have been many Microsoft executives with a vision of building a new, perfect GUI toolkit. They all were released half done and quasi supported to this day.
- mawadev 4mo agoI mean like you take the old thing and enhance it a bit but dont make a new thing from scratch because the idea and architecture has always been perfect. Most GUI toolkits from microsoft are drilled for ease of use so you dont have to have many devs to get something running (looking at dual way data binding and xaml). Imho thats the wrong approach, make it perfect for experts and approachable for juniors, winforms was very easy to click together, WPF not so much, too much framework magic.
