Winforms and WPF are both very maintained and supported for .NET 8 on Windows, to clarify. Good cross platform desktop frameworks include Avalonia.

Are those frameworks available in .NET 8 on non-Windows platforms, though? If not, I think that's what the GP was getting at.

Not by Microsoft, but Avalonia has a commercial fork of WPF which runs on Linux and macOS:

I think MS wants you to use this?

I was pleased to see WinForms got some updates in .NET9. I really thought they'd left it. I still use it every day when I need to spin up a new tool to do some little task that needs a GUI.

The only people wanting anyone to use MAUI are the MAUI team and even then only half heartedly.

Microsoft Build this year only discussed WinUI and WPF even.

Good, I use MVC and it sucks.

MVC is something entirely else?
