I disagree, WPF is quite good to use, and WinForms approach to keeping UI as code is quite moronic. I would say WPF is where it should've stopped.

- HumblyTossed 1y agoWPF sucks. I rather like expressing the UI in code. Having to deal with so much XML (XaML) is annoying as fuck.
- solid_fuel 1y agoThe workflow on WPF was so much more painful than winforms, which had a decent WYSIWYG designer and solid integration with visual studio. WPF in comparison was slow, memory hungry, and difficult to learn. I tried 5 times to make a WPF application but it didn’t even have all the same basic controls that WinForms supported.
- Quarrelsome 1y agonah WPF made way more sense than WinForm in its abstract design, as it supported flow/stack layout ideas instead of anchors like WinForm did. WinForm was much quicker to get started but had a fundamental flaw in that it couldn't really do transparency.
