I agree with the conversion to TypeScript. Having a strong background in C# allowed me to pick up the fundamentals of TypeScript in no time to implement in my frontend applications as well.

As for the PTSD, I feel we're all suffering 😂 I came into .NET with the outcomes of my course resulting in me being a UWP application. However I think .NET has done a great job in responding to what their community has been requesting (some of the new C# 11 features), so all we can do is lean back and hope for the best.

.NET fractured the desktop so badly that I refused to learn UWP or anything subsequent.

WPF was always stronger except for cross platform.

What they should have done was to continue with WPF.

The whole fiasco reminds me of the Silverlight fail. And now they are selling MAUI?

C'mon Microsoft fire some of your directors. Silverlight, WPF, UWP All died because of bad decisions and lack of disclosures.
