That's really interesting, I should look into that pattern, maybe it can be applied elsewhere (I have to maintain a vb6 application at work, and I'm not terribly interested in doing that anymore). Yeah working with redux sucks in general imo, I try to avoid it when I can. If I can get away with it, I try to avoid the problem entirely by using hasura as a backend. But sometimes that's not viable. |

I hadn't used C# for years, I was shocked that the winforms designer duct taped to a community contributed Firebase library, was able to get a prototype out in hours.
I had been using JS for 2 years at that point. I estimate at 10x-15x productivity boost in C# over JS.
The C# tooling is just that good.
Now if I'd been trying to learn XAML or something at the same time, eh, probably wouldn't have gone as well.
Of course the downside here is that a Winforms app is hard to distribute, and usable only on Windows desktops.
The react web app was, well, beautiful, and usable everywhere.
But I could have written the C# app once for every platform I care about and still been better off.
Ugh, I am sad that Winforms is only ever going to be Win32 based.
