A similar story to WPF.

WPF was abandoned at birth, it went years without any attention and then was superseded.

Apple has at least been consistent on UI frameworks.

Sort of superseded. In practice WPF is still very often the best option in the complete mess that is window GUIs

		Yeah, I like WPF and I still use it for my own apps. In fact, my own software is the only thing keeping me on Windows now. I really should take a look at Avalonia and port my stuff over to Linux.

WPF was stamped out by lack of dogfooding = inability to inspire confidence, and then Microsoft spazzing out with that clusterfuck that was the Windows 8 "Metro" bullshit.

Back when I wanted it to succeed, Microsoft was barely using it in any of their own apps.

Apple has used SwiftUI in their OS more than MS/Windows did, and there's quite a few apps on the App Store that -seem- to be made with SwiftUI.
