What in the world ever happened to Xamarin? Weren't they acquired by Microsoft two years ago? I felt sure we'd have a nice cross-platform desktop GUI by now. . .

I'm feeling more fearful that they acquired Xamarin just to destroy it.

It's actively developed but there's no mature cross-platform UI (Xamarin.Forms is mostly mobile and has many issues). Using something like MvvmCross combined with native UIs on each platform is the best option for now.

The only use I ever saw of it by others was to make mobile apps for both Android and iOS so I think it will stay there worse case.
