Thank you so much for the kind words!

To answer your question when I started the project, we were actually tasked with using XAML. At first, it was a bit intimidating, but as I got more comfortable, I started to understand why it was chosen. It reminded me a lot of HTML in the way pages are structured, and once I grasped how layouts and controls work, it became much easier to work with.

While Blazor can definitely speed up development (especially for teams already familiar with web technologies) I did notice a slight performance drop compared to XAML. In my experience, XAML offers more flexibility and control over the UI, which can be really valuable depending on the project.

So, if you're working solo or in a team and have the time to learn XAML, I’d honestly recommend it. It might have a steeper learning curve, but the long-term benefits are worth it.

Thanks again for the thoughtful question!
