    There aren’t any great cross platform UI frameworks for .net. There are a few out there, but they are not as robust as what you can do with stuffing a react app into electron.

      From what I have seen, AvaloniaUI is getting really close to being the ideal framework for cross-platform desktop use. It has become very polished over the last two years.

      MAUI on the other hand, has been falling flat on its face on desktop because it is geared much more towards mobile.

        I’d agree that Avalonia has come a long way in a short time. It has a lot of potential, but there aren’t a lot of UI control libraries available yet.

        I’m using it for a personal project and it’s very good for cross platform consistency. The trouble is that building a good looking UI is still difficult. Some of that is my lack of knowledge, but some is lack of available docs, examples, and community.

        Here’s hoping they keep growing those things and become a viable alternative.
