      <blockquote><em><a href="#465816">In reply to dontbeevil:</a></em></blockquote><p>From who? Paul? Satya? All the developers that didn’t give a stuff about it? The users that didn’t want any of the apps built on it?</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#465816">In reply to dontbeevil:</a></em></blockquote><p>All developers has a personal war against UWP. Me too. As a developer and as user. I never want or use any UWP thing. </p><p><br></p><p>UWP is for smartphones, mobiles or tablets. Nothing to do on a desktop or laptop PC. </p>

          <blockquote><em><a href="#466171">In reply to dontbeevil:</a></em></blockquote><p>and of course I got just a downvote and no reply, because you have no real arguments, like the one in the video</p>

    <p>Yes Paul, WPF is the thing to use. The thing I find sad. DotNet Core 3 will get out at 23 september without any window designer. You will have to type all your xaml at hand. Unless I get surprised at the september 23 event.</p><p><br></p><p>I saw a blog post that tell the Winform designer will be in preview when .Net Core 3 is out. Just disappointed again with Microsoft to deliver half baked framework once again.</p>
