We don't need to open the .NET Framework... We have .NET Core. It's better, faster, and cross-platform...

But it's not a drop-in replacement, and it doesn't have any of the GUI bits.

[bsg75]

Would the GUI bits be useful on a non-Windows platform?

Think this is the only other alternative for cross plat guis if you don't want to pull in non-.net stuff like qt or electron. https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia

So yeah.

[Nullabillity]

Yes? There is lots of legacy GUI software that's stuck on it.

gtk / qt wrappers for old .net programs would be awesome.
