WinUI looks nice and performs really well, I'm not a Windows fan but that's definitely a hidden Microsoft gem. It's a same which Microsoft was really late to the desktop development game and kept providing ugly frameworks until few years ago otherwise we could had a nice ecosystem on desktop apps on Windows as we have on macOS instead of tons of ugly and slow Electron based apps.

    Electron is garbage, but so is anything that spreads javascript cancer outside the browser.

    That said, kind of cliche that a mac fan's complaint about windows' vast, mature, and comprehension desktop ecosystem is that the apps are "ugly". Thanks, but us windows users have work to get done and the aesthetic beauty of the UI is pretty damn far down the list of things that matter.

    @NotJeckel if the UX is good I can gladly accept an ugly UI (I’d rather surf a fast but ugly site without a single line of CSS rather than suffer lag on a pretty but badly optimised website) but sadly that’s not how the average customer (on both platforms) thinks. Nowadays your software have to look pretty to compete in the market and sadly many see Electron as the only way to reach that.

    @CeladonCookie for desktop dev you can try the gold old JavaFX or if you want something newer you can try with the C# based Uno Platform
