This barely mentions Windows Forms, which is the cleanest and fastest way to code Windows GUI apps.

A few years ago, I wanted to prototype something quick and I wrote it in Windows Forms over C# (all code, no visual editor).

Apparently, you do too, since what you said is basically the same as what the article said (.NET wrapper for C#, fastest prototyping to date)

Winforms is a Win32 API wrapper, so on the same level as MFC, not a separate UI framework.

		It is a wrapper, but it's not quite on the same level as MFC. MFC really is a thin wrapper, almost 1:1 in most places. WinForms is more like VCL or VB6 in that it uses Win32 where it can but doesn't design around it, so in practice it's more high-level.
