OpenSilver – a plugin-free, open-source reimplementation of Silverlight

I honestly don't know if that's a silverlight issue or implementation problem, but having to work with admin consoles implemented in silverlight in Microsoft product I can say they offer awful experience.

Loading time is terrible, movement between fields is clunky and if you use tab to pass fields your input will be deleted. Left clicks are not a thing. Moving back and forth lose state. Responsive design is not a thing.

I'm waiting so long for it to reach end of life already.

Most of those things happen regardless of UI tech, in HTML as well. That's less an argument against a particular framework, but rather an argument to not build shoddy UIs.

It is way worse than your average HTML. Again, I'm not sure if those defects are the framework faults or the UI implementation, but deleting input from field when pressing tab isn't something I encountered in any HTML interface. Loading time is also similar to a desktop 1st person shooter, not to HTML.

That's totally app's fault rather than Silverlight as a tech.
