The irony that the Web needs to keep copying native development experience, and it is still miles behind of what VB and Delphi were offering 30 years ago, unless one is paying for stuff like OutSystems or PowerApps.
Also the UI designer experience for WPF is much worse than it used to be with WinForms - so bad I just wrote the code manually, and at that point I can just write HTML/CSS. But perhaps they fixed that - I left .NET in 2015.
It doesn't run in the browser anyways - and the browser is what my customers want, because everyone has a browser, but not everyone has Windows desktop - especially today, when many people don't even own a PC and use something with Android/iOS as their primary computing device.
The only reason I went back to cloud and Web development, is that pre-covid it was the best way to get 100% remote jobs, so I put up with it.
By the way, most of those iOS/Android users are using apps and not Websites.
.NET is dead to me, I simply don't trust the platform/libraries to continue existence and receive updates. Also the JS/NPM ecosystem is much larger and that's truly what's keeping me there.
