Every time I start doing anything moderately complicated in JS, I rage at how much more difficult it is compared to slamming together a UI in .NET.

Really because WPF, web forms or razor all seem very inferior to me than VUE or react.

Hell when we were still building interfaces in .Net we paid a subscription to use Telerik on the frontend because the standard .net stuff is absolutely terrible.

Where is Blend for Vue or React?

I never used Telerik, and we only bought ComponentOne once for a Windows Forms project, started before WPF even existed.

WinForms or WPF? I can throw together a (terrible) HTML page faster than I can remember how MVVM is meant to work.

I'm a lover of WinForms, since I cut my teeth on VB6 and MFC... it's surprising how decent you can make things look with a little polishing.

It's nuts that visual layout editors for the web have, if anything, regressed from the WebForms editor in Visual Studio 2008.

MVVM is meant to work the same way as Angular bindings work.

In any case you aren't obliged to use MVVM in WPF, it is just a best practice for easier unit testing and composability. Then again Web Components are only now starting to be a thing.
