I was miserable in that position. I left MS in 2012, joined a company that worked on mobile security, and worked on Windows Phone apps (Silverlight and XAML, so nice!). Then another company, their internal software used WPF, so pleasant. All that time, I watched and followed the C++/WinRT, UWP, WinUI. Could not believe what madness I am seeing...
BTW, I played with Avalonia for a bit, it feels genuinely brilliant. Just a handful of people. 2/2
