If you're limiting yourself to Microsoft's options then I'm going to have to say that's a you problem. Avalonia is pretty great. What do you use when you're building apps in other languages?

> On the server side, TypeScript is actually better

I like TypeScript but I'd never pick it over C# on the server side unless I had to do React SSR for some reason.

The issue is that it's not a hobby, but a delivery. For delivery, you have to check commercial compatibility and long-term maintainability, so I'm not sure. Actually, I don't particularly like the XAML model itself, but the problem is the LTS policy and long-term viability. In delivery, technology choice is important. Because what can be maintained later is what matters. I have learned TypeScript, but I don't think you're wrong. It's sufficiently understandable for personal development and hobbies, but from a delivery perspective, it could be considered a risky choice.

You lost me a bit - everything you mention is client side, not server side.

Avalonia has enterprise support available if you need it. It also supports mobile (native AOT, not WASM).

I do agree that it's hard to beat web tech though. Great support across all platforms. Just don't forget to optimize.

React SSR is now also supported by the community! https://github.com/davidwhitney/JsxCore
