Because I didnt see it already mentioned. Avalonia[1] and Uno[2] for C# are also really great if you want to write windows apps. I wrote some in Avalonia that worked incredible nice on Linux and Windows.

You dont have to use MVVM or AXML for example Uno allows for C# Markup[3] to be used instead or MVUX instead of MVVM.

I personally hate MVVM and AXML but you are not forced to use them.

For Avalonia I dabbled in creating my own replacement[4] for MVVM and AXML using Flecs.Net.

In Avalonia I created a tray icon for the trash bin. So I can see how big it is and clear/open it with a small menu[5].

Both Avalonia and Uno should at least be looked at when judging which framework to use. They are both quite mature and have many great controls and features built in.

I built multiple Avalonia apps with zero previous experience

- Windows 11 Hardening utility - made it because all existing ones are not updated to handle all the new AI telemetry + new updates + I made it differently and more powerful than anything that exists currently

- Windows Admin/ Security / Networking Utility built for my needs

- Windows 11 Anti Virus Nuker - Completely shuts off windows defender without disrupting system performance or zombie files

- and more
