.NET MAUI is coming to Linux and the browser

In the .NET ecosystem, I have noticed people to shame .NET MAUI because Microsoft themselves don't use this framework - Microsoft Team is built on Electron and not MAUI.

Why build a product on MAUI when Microsoft aren't too sure about it.

Never build a frontend on a .NET technology. Period. They always end up unsupported in the end. Just use standard web technologies and thank yourself later. I've been a .NET dev for a decade now and that's what I've learnt.

As wrong as it feels to have to use Electron for a desktop app, it really is the safest approach for most applications.

Qt also seems to be a good option, though there are licensing considerations for commercial applications.

I’m excited for various upcoming Rust options as well, but right now Electron is the battle tested option.

I am curious though about Avalonia. I’ve heard good things, but it’s definitely a smaller player compared to Electron. I’d most likely choose it over Microsoft’s first party frameworks.
