There's an article currently on Hacker News about Microsoft's lack of a coherent GUI strategy over the decades. https://www.jsnover.com/blog/2026/03/13/microsoft-hasnt-had-a-coherent-gui-strategy-since-petzold/ The article said that WPF was good technology. I couldn't let that go unchallenged. I remember the bad performance that my brother suffered running a WPF app in 2010-2011 on an average 2008 laptop, because WPF's bet on GPU acceleration turned out to remain way ahead of average hardware.
