Doubtful. WPF isn't even the recommended GUI toolkit on windows anymore.

  According to whom? And what is the current recommended GUI toolkit?
  • praeclarum 12y ago
    Windows RT (aka Metro, aka Store Apps). It's a model based on WPF but not fully compliant - it took in lessons learned form Silverlight. Call it WPFlight.

      Okay, yeah, so still XAML. I've only recently looked into Windows RT, my time was always spent in ASP.NET, so WPF/WinRT/Silverlight, it all seems like the same thing to me, but I do know a lot of Windows app developers that bitch up a storm about the diffs between WinRT XAML and what can be done in WPF :)

        The truth is they are essentially the same. I just draw the distinction because porting apps between them isn't always automatic.

      That's the toolkit if you want Metro apps, dealing with MS's crappy store, etc. etc. If you want a traditional Windows application that just works, then WPF is fine. (And I think WPF has an option for non-blurry text rendering, whereas every Metro app seems to be blurry.)
