Doesn't maui also support mac/linux? Do a lot of people use xaml? I would have thought you could write the ui's directly in C#.

edit: it looks like xaml is optional with the community toolkits https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-the-net-ma...

Youre right, platform support on MAUI is different than Xamarin so that part isnt necessarily accurate.

A large segment of the community uses XAML yeah. I think it just tends to be those that came to it through .net or those that came to it through native app dev. I prefer C#, and it seems MAUI has a better story around that with its partial focus on MVU style dev.

Maui does not (at present) offer Linux support. There's a community effort, but AFIAK it hasn't gotten a lot of steam yet.
