If you like WinForms, take a look at Eto (https://github.com/picoe/Eto)

"This framework can be used to build applications that run across multiple platforms using their native toolkit, with an easy to use API. This will make your applications look and work as a native application on all platforms, using a single UI codebase."

Thank you, I'll take a look, but it hardly is a real replacement. Honestly, I liked WinForms because it had a visual designer where I could just paint the UI with a mouse, click a button and code what's going to happen when it's clicked. Nevertheless anything like WinForms probably is easier than web-based UIs, even if it lacks a visual designer. However, one should probably prefer Avalonia (a cross-platform WPF-like .Net UI toolkit) if going this way.

It remind me SWT in Java. It used native graphical window management when the web was still not a thing. I made one of school project with it...

How does Eto compare to the very mature wxWidgets?
