Is this supposed to give me confidence in .Net MAU?

Well at this point, don’t trust any framework Microsoft pushes. They told everyone UWP was the future for Windows after WPF, then stopped for WinUI and the app SDK…

I have started using Avalonia, and even though I am still learning, I am very satisfied with it. There are growing pains obviously, but as you said, I have no confidence in Microsoft UI frameworks.

MAUI’s pretty undercooked at the moment. Editing UIs in raw XML, incomplete control set, bugs.

One day could be useful, and there are some 3rd parties providing controls… but of course this is microsoft so they will work on it for 2-3 years, and then write something new, throwing MAUI into the dustbin.

In my previous company I used VS for Mac, it wasn’t a great experience… but it was better than nothing. Then along came a Rider license…

The tooling for VS Code might have improved, but Rider is the IDE of choice… even on windows.

What are the benefits of Rider over CLion?

Rider is for C# development.

It’s pushed by Jetbrains as a C++ IDE for Unreal developers. https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/rider-unreal/

I’m not surprised lol.

At my workplace I occasionally do work on an AutoCAD lisp add-in, half the time I don’t know what I’m doing when something isn’t quite working right 😭

My manager is tempted to drop support because none of us really know what we’re doing with it… the original dev is long gone and none of us know LISP
