Nah, just use WinForms. It's alwys going to work, and it's better than all the half-baked abandoned successor platforms.

That's a hope I currently do not share. There were multiple cases where Microsoft employees proposed features for WinForms that were only stopped by community members because it would have broken WinForms in very subtle ways. If Microsoft were on their own, it would already be broken. Also see the VS WinForms designer problem in the sibling comment.

I have the feeling that the original WinForms designers quit Microsoft years ago and some juniors are left trying to force their new ideas into it to make a name for themselves.
