Is this supposed to give me confidence in .Net MAU?
Well at this point, don't trust any framework Microsoft pushes. They told everyone UWP was the future for Windows after WPF, then stopped for WinUI and the app SDK...
I feel dumb for falling for the Xamarin.Forms train. I have zero confidence in any MS UI framework including Blazor.
I have started using Avalonia, and even though I am still learning, I am very satisfied with it. There are growing pains obviously, but as you said, I have no confidence in Microsoft UI frameworks.
I meant MAUI
Like the island that's a part of Hawaii? /s
MAUI’s pretty undercooked at the moment. Editing UIs in raw XML, incomplete control set, bugs.
One day could be useful, and there are some 3rd parties providing controls… but of course this is microsoft so they will work on it for 2-3 years, and then write something new, throwing MAUI into the dustbin.
