those guys are making progress https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia Though I wish they didn't choose xaml/wpf way which is pretty much over engineered imho. React like api would be awesome.

I wish they hadn’t picked GTK+. This brings huge technology stack with it, required a desktop subsystem for no reason, and is focused on the CPU rendering.

They should have used something like this instead for backend: https://github.com/memononen/nanovg
