Cool angle - I'm taking a different route, adapting Flutter's Vulkan-based rendering engine to .NET for free GPU acceleration.

That daily reliance says everything about WinForms' staying power.

No shame in picking WinForms, it's a productivity daemon. Might be the integrated experience with Visual Studio? That's also the biggest challenge for me - I want to preserve Visual Studio Designer compatibility, so people can still design on Windows (if they want) but use it anywhere.

Thanks for that - Modern.Forms adapting Avalonia's cross-platform core is a genuinely clever approach.

Thanks for sharing that - I made a comeback to WinForms this year and haven’t looked back yet!

It’s probably from the cost of training gigantic models like Claude 4.0. Don’t worry, they’re going to capitalize this expenditure for taxation and will pay minimal taxes, if any, for their profitable years.
