Such a pity that WPF was never ported to other platforms That's a UI framework that was done right in my opinion. Fast, incredibly flexible and sane.

That it's been relegated to boring internal only enterprise app development is pretty sad. I enjoyed working with it immensely.

Avalonia is a decently nice cross platform C# + XAML GUI toolkit. It doesn't cover every use case WPF does, of course, but I've still found it pleasant to use.

It also suffers similar problems to the one posted here (or at least used to), an idle app will consume quite a bit of CPU.

A WPF app is just a .Net app. I can't recall the problem described ever having been an issue.
