Interesting Read: The future UWP

Morton Nielsen wrote an article called “The future UWP” about the situation for desktop UI development in the Microsoft technology stack which I found very interesting.

The main takeaways (not actually surprising):

  • A lot is happening/changing/developing and it will take some time until the future really becomes clear.
  • Quote: “Whether you do WPF, WinForms or UWP, if it works for you now, continue the course you’re on”

Personally, I’ll stay with WPF for my desktop UIs. When .NET Core 3 comes out, I’ll dip a toe into porting my applications.
