>IMO, stick to C# WinForms to get going, and use it until you know you need something it doesn't do well.

Heh, as per the discussion above, this really should be prefixed with "unpopular opinion:", since you really don't see a lot of recommendations that people use WinForms for anything these days.

WinForms is actually super nice, and given how many toolkits MS released after that, latest one even without working GUI designer, I'd say WinForms is one of the best options available.

I agree, it's unfairly maligned and very useful.
