Visual Studio designers are an abomination. Once beyond anything trivial it is slow and buggy and a pain. Look at FUNC.UI https://github.com/FuncUI/Avalonia.FuncUI to see how code only UIs could look.

I know how code only UIs could work, I've been doing UIs since Turbo Vison for MS-DOS, and lost count how many toolkits I have used since then.

No designer, I get to move into something else.

The Web being the exception here, as it keeps rebooting itself without ever learning from native toolkits.
