Though I've never really played with it, .net is usually preferred for non-cross platform desktop apps, so that would be something.

  I'm not sure that's true anymore. Some subset of .NET is supported for RT, but so is C++. WinForms is deprecated and it seems like everybody hates WPF, so there isn't a great .NET story around desktop UIs right now. It's a bit of a cluster. (I like WPF. But I'm weird.)

    In the enterprise XAML based UIs are quite loved. We even get to have the "J2EE" version of .NET with all those model view patterns.

    I like WPF as well, I just wish Microsoft would give it a bit more love.

    Since Microsoft doesn't care about WPF anymore people started pretending they like HTML5 and JS, kinda like "hey, dirt doesn't taste that bad if you give it some time!".

      What matters is XAML, and that is as present as ever.
