I haven't done much with UI in general, but the one time I thought of making some UI stuff in windows I gave up.

Even modifying an existing .net program someone else made for a feature I wanted was a nightmare.

Yep, I was shocked to see that there is no defacto 1st party framework and during my time searching online I found lots of "use x, use y, no y is dead and none uses it, no x is terrible" which is how I found Avalonia.

I still don't think there's a solid Windows gui framework, but I haven't looked in years.
