The whole UI situation in Windows is absolutely ludicrous.

Is the recommendations panel in the start menu, which nobody actually wants to begin with, really so complicated that it justifies bringing in a JS runtime?

And is C# and WinUI really so hard to use that they can’t just make it with that?

And if WinUI is hard to use, maybe they should like.. make it better?

At least Apple had the decency to take the React paradigm and turn it into a native part of their development platform with SwiftUI, even if the implementation has been a bit rough around the edges.

I mean, it looks super complicated to me by now. Why on earth they did it, that's a different story
