Winforms died so UWP could live and all programs are now crapps and take 60 gigglybytes to display a flashing cursor
I loved winforms it was the first thing I ever learned for gui and the senior dev taught me all the tricks for making UIs that scaled well and looked clean. Nothing ever really gave me the same satisfaction of drag and dropping the dataframe viewer onto a page it just felt so easy to made crappy crud apps in. I just hate modern frontend so much its way too over complicated for what I need to do half the time.

I am still writing new apps in it, I fear I will be one of those people using outdated technologies forever
Anything after WPF is completely lost on me. I have to use react now i dont want to make it stop. I remember when I thought webforms was cool
