Opinions on mage as make replacement for Golang projects

Even when it comes to Win desktop development, Microsoft is fast losing ground to initiatives like Electron [0], especially when it comes to new consumer software. If the trend continues, MS frameworks and libraries will mostly be used by legacy enterprise software (and maybe Photoshop...). Can't say that I'm surprised considering how fractured Microsoft ecosystem of libraries, frameworks, and platforms for development has become.

They also have a major problem with not listening to their very loyal desktop developers, who have to face a reality where Visual Basic is rendered obsoletely, where .net core is a thing - ops no it's not, etc.
