I found WinForms quite usable.

Exactly. If you don't need pixel perfection or 3D, WinForms are perfect. Fast, simple, and with a lightning develop-build-test loop. Plus, it's officially supported on .NET Core.

This is kinda amusing because WinForms is very popular among game developers for making tools and 3D editors :-P.

I'm still using it and I have no intention of switching away. It does have its warts though, layout and high dpi support isn't as strong as WPF.
