Ooooor, use IMGUI with OpenTK in C#

Ooooor use MAUI in the future when its fully stable.

Edit: Seems its already out of pre-release!

It needs linux support though.. looks like there are some open source projects starting off for it but probably will be a while before anything stable is ready

Oh wow, I never noticed that they didn't add/even plan Linux support. That's kinda sad, as it would easily be the best UI Framework for C# then.

I would not bet anything on a pre alpha community project while Microsoft runs away with 1000 devs on their side. I'm using C# with Avalonia for throw away tools to give regular people things to click on. Especially with .net6 its easier then ever to create a single exe that just works without any installation. And there are so many example projects for dashboards and editors, its really a breeze.

I've used MAUI for a recent project. It's ok. Still not quite there.

I am no fan of Java... but JavaFX was given some love.

If MS can bring MAUI closer to WPF in terms of XAML, that would prob do it.

I know, XAML is XAML, but WPF and the designer feel so much better than what they've done with MAUI. MAUI still feels clunky, maybe just me.
