Keep in mind that you're on Hacker News: the majority of the commenters will not be referring to desktop software but rather web, which is where all the focus and the drive behind all .NET Core feature development has been coming from.

I think it's fair to say that the .NET team absolutely has a vision and has made significant progress towards achieving it so far as web (frontend/backend) development is concerned, despite how ridiculously lacking the desktop UI story is/has been. (In fact, it's even worse than that since 10 years ago, .NET was the only ecosystem that had an excellent and comprehensive story for UI development that was supported from start to finish.)
