Wow, they are actually starting to care about quality. Color me surprised.

I seriously hope Microsoft consolidates all their Windows app dev on WinUI and invests heavily in making it great.

I also wish that they’d make WinUI work on macOS as well similar to Avalonia, but I think they probably won’t.

Nice to see. I wonder how feasible it would be to build a plain C interface… would be nice for building bindings to other languages.

As someone who builds desktop apps:

Is there any reason I would use this over something cross-platform like EGUI? I am kind of over software being OS-specific; this is one of the biggest compatibility mistakes we've made. Along with the related process of making drawing pixels on a display a complicated process!

How about F# support? Until then, happy to support Avalonia.

Will any of this translate to Windows programs like File Manager? Whatever their Image viewer is even called? For some ungodly reason, on my last remaining Windows Device, which is a Surface Book 2 (a Microsoft made laptop!) with very vanilla configurations, everything slows to a crawl in the file manager and if I try to view images on a directory and do the "right arrow" for next or "left arrow" key for previous. It baffles me how something that never had so much slowness can be completely FUBAR'd I miss when Windows had standard apps that were very optimal and didn't slow and ruin my experience. I find myself opening that laptop less and less, and one of these days I might just slap Linux over it.
