I think one problem is (was?) winforms is not available in f#. (which is c# unique selling point i. m. h. o.)

Are you thinking of something else than winforms?

I believe winforms and WPF has always been usable but not with the visual designer tooling in visual studio.

UWP has been trickier though to my knowledge.

I probaby meant the visual designer tooling. (Which is a big point in using Visual studio)
