Re: .NET WinForms -- they open sourced it a few years back.

They even went so far as to bring back the forms designer to Visual Studio.

Obviously it's still a pretty sizable migration to go from .NET Framework to .NET, but at least the UI framework is available again.

Yes. We have several solutions that include WinForms projects. Migrating those from Framework 4.8 to .Net 8 was as simple as changing "net48" to "net8.0-windows" in the csproj file.
