> Winforms was king. MVC wasn't fun to write with

Ah no! While a standard thing to do for the web, WinForms let you do the strangest stuff like mimicking OS X for a piece of Windows-only software.

My excuse is I was seventeen at the time... Back then, I was afraid of both hard graft and human interface guidelines.
