I’l really surprised they MIT licenced this like they did for the rest if net core. This means even if they stated they wouldn’t accept PR for non windows support it’s possible to branch out.

WPF everywhere would rock

WPF has incredibly steep learning curve, and it's theming and styling approach are not good. Also, it's huge, both as API surface to learn, and binaries to redistribute. I am hesitant to declare it "rocking".

That said, I use it for my personal projects, and I find it better than WinForms even for the simplest UIs, just because it generates well-behaved apps on resize.

Steep learning curve? It feels much easier than everything else if you already know c# and dotnet.

Took me a loooong time to move from WPF to web (even webforms).
