I was reading about all the conflicting windows ui frameworks over the years, and supposedly windows frequently has different internal teams pushing different standards and fighting with each other over it. End result is that WinUI 3 is one of 17 GUI techs that's still shipping today (8 of those are made by Microsoft itself, the other 9 are things like Electron, etc).

So this sounds like a much needed clean up, but like most things we'll have to wait and see if Microsoft actually follows through on what they're saying.

Too little too late. They made it clear that they don't care about their users, their developers and now even their Cybersecurity researchers.

They made it well known that other humans are not appreciated in their vicinity.

Not a reason to switch to 11 tho. 10 is still better. Linux is on the top tho ofc.

Windows 10 will start getting vulnerabilities once the extended support runs out. That will be very much a reason to switch (either to 11 or a different OS entirely)
