I was interviewing student devs recently and was flabbergasted how many of the kids doing greenfield personal projects were still using WinForms. It's frustrating how Visual Studio pushes them to work with this bone-headed warty out-of-date technology. These weren't old hands using somethign familiar just to get an MVP for a personal project, these were kids who didn't know any existing GUI frameworks and started using WinForms because it's the default in VS.

I agree. I'm asking around to see if we can get the default changed in Visual Studio.

Meanwhile I am doing a greenfield project in WinForms, because it needs to be integrated into an existing eco-system of applications and components built around WinForms.

I don't think we'd call it greenfield, then, if you're constrained by tech you need to interact with.

Yeah, kind of. Not much I can disclose.
