If I wanted to make a native windows application I really wouldn't know what to use ? WPF is what I've worked with. But WPF is awful. When I was doing some games programming using Imgui for little widgits was actually quite nice. But wouldn't want to use C++ generally for an application. What do people actually recommend ? Electron seems to be the go to. |

I’m a little offended by the comment about WPF; WPF is stuck in 2006 but at least is about as polished as you can expect from a 16 year old product. Microsoft should aspire to make their other UI offerings half as good as WPF.
UWP is like WPF, but with critical features stripped out, broken core functionality (e.g. renderers for paths/SVGs are super broken), and an 80% chance of facing a COM exception if you try to do anything remotely interesting.
I’m learning web tech so I can make a career change - I built my career on .NET client technologies and I deeply regret it.
Take it from a (former) Windows fanboy, choose Electron.
