Visual Studio for Mac Retirement Announcement - Visual Studio Blog
2y 9mon ago in programming@programming.dev from devblogs.microsoft.comI have started using Avalonia, and even though I am still learning, I am very satisfied with it. There are growing pains obviously, but as you said, I have no confidence in Microsoft UI frameworks.
Visual Studio for Mac Retirement Announcement - Visual Studio Blog
2y 9mon ago in dotnet@programming.dev from devblogs.microsoft.comIt's a great text editor, yes. An IDE though, it is not. It gets close with various addons, but it's still not the same experience.
MonoDevelop died for this.
(Disclaimer: I haven't used MonoDevelop to know its quality, I'm just tempted by the idea of a free cross-platform .NET IDE. Microsoft took MonoDevelop, forked it into VS for Mac, left the former stagnate, and now is killing its closed-source descendant.)
Avalonia v11
2y 11mon ago in dotnet@programming.dev from dev.toOh boy, now I need to find a new excuse to procrastinate on the project I want to start using Avalonia.
Well, for starters, WinUI 3 is Windows only (correct me if I'm wrong), while Avalonia supports Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, iOS and WebAssembly.
The cross-platform solution that Microsoft advocates for is MAUI, which doesn't support Linux. And it uses native controls, meaning you may encounter platform-specific bugs, while Avalonia renders the controls the same way everywhere using Skia (same approach with Flutter).

State of .net/c# cross platform frameworks

POLL: Do you want this community (/c/csharp) to redirect to /c/dotnet for the time being, until we grow larger?
