I think WPF is nice but has actually fallen behind a bit on binding vs. some of the web toolkits like React/Redux, Angular 2, Ember.
It's been a while since I messed with it, but MVVM didn't work so well for some kinds of things, which seemed to be why for example selected items property is often not a dependency property of MS supplied widgets (so can't be participate in binding). For example see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22868445/wpf-binding-sele... (from what I remember this accepted solution also has a subtle bug of double notification (or was it lack of notification on one side?)).
