You shouldn't be writing WPF apps at all.

There is no replacement for WPF on desktop. I'm pretty sure at this point that WPF is still more popular than WinRT.

HTML5 sucks really hard after XAML :(.

I don't use XAML in my WPF code.

Says who? Are we supposed to stop writing Windows desktop apps in C# just because the frameworks are in maintenance mode?

All of the web's legacy languages are lame and not going anywhere - HTML, CSS, JS. At least WPF gives you some choice - C#, F#, VB. All without crap-trans-piling. The REST is not bad though.

Perhaps true, but the web hasn't been deprecated so...

As mentioned, not a big fan of transpiling.
