How is the Visual Studio WPF designer these days? I worked on a WPF app around 5 years ago, and the form designer in Visual Studio was appalingly slow and quite buggy.

I also wasn't a big fan of XAML - no matter how much time I spent using it, it mostly seemed more difficult and awkward to get components where you wanted them than with WinForms.

Quite good. I always do a mixture of Blend and Studio.

Never had any big problem that I can remember of since Visual Studio 2012.

2012 had big internal architecture changes that did a lot to stabilize the designer.

The designer is fine now.
