Shit, I’m completely with you on WinForms. It works, it’s simple, and native.

WPF is almost nice. I’ve enjoyed it especially when trying to make crazy looking UI’s, but I can’t bring myself around to because of the god awful methods for styling components.

Thanks for your thoughts! I've been mostly involved with Electron lately and I'm a believer in all-HTML UI. For this project though, Electron was ruled out.
I've actually come to understand the appeal of Electron recently. CSS is an amazing tool for styling and something like WPF + CSS would be a great tool IMO if it existed.
Maybe some styling tool similar to CSS exists in modern XAML/WinUI3? I must admit, I haven't followed that space much recently.
