I develop with WPF for 10 years now and I feel that I totally lost where Microsoft go. I think they are too. It's the most freeking fuck up ever : WPF -UWP - WinUI - Core - Xamarin. No one can tell where they are going and what is the future. One day it's UWP, the other day it's Core, then it's WinUI, and suddlenly they tell you WPF is still there and supported. The absolute cloud, the most dense fog you will ever seen in your life!!!
Dad, self-employed, problem solver at heart, async all the way. Formerly a principal software engineer at Nuance Communications. Occasionally I tweet, blog and answer my own StackOverflow questions.
Indeed it can be confusing, especially given that what Microsoft recommend using and what they're using themselves are often quite different technologies. And things don't look good for WPF nowadays, I've recently blogged about it.
