MS doesn't believe in any of their toolkits, and the source is their actions. First off, they're addicting to introducing new toolkits instead of improving existing ones. But that doesn't even matter, because they just use Electron anyway.
replyMS has multiple personalities, so some might do, I will give you that. Meanwhile, WPF is getting rehabilitated. It seems like that not only the average developer has concluded that all the other UI frameworks since wpf are half-baked. Someone more involved than me makes the same assessment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47480056
replyI recommend everyone to ignore all experiments, and go straight for AvaloniaUI, as it is quite similar to wpf, actively devloped and cross-platform. The only downside I see is that Wayland is still in progress yet.
