    @DacoTaco Yes, it's Microsoft decided to kill classic win32 widgets and any XAML support in Mono, forcing new WinRT platform and not providing any GUI support in netcore. It's sad that nobody made some crossplatform WPF implementation for modern dotnet, Maui is not incompatible with existing source code, IIRC

    That's basically Avalonia UI.

    I believe Uno Platform is similar, but less of a WPF variant, and closer to Xamarin or MAUI in the style of Xaml that they use.

    no, avalonia cannot help you run existing applications. Also. Avalonia is a crap, taking minutes to parse xml crap on poor hardware
    Yes, there are many implementaion of WPF-like UI, but no implementation of existing Windows UI.
    mono's winforms allows you run existing winforms apps without single line change or even without recompiling (just replace related System.Windows.* assembies)
