maui/xamarin is terrible( MAUI is xamarin renamed).

It can't build a macOS desktop version. This was found out a week ago in a "shipping to production" thus forcing a certain team to say no macOS version until v2.. Which is now flutter 3.x now. Flutter better? nah.. just it has a macOS desktop option now.

Honestly wasn't thinking of maui...

https://avaloniaui.net/

I used this when I had a mac and it worked well.

I wouldn't touch maui for now.

Avalonia is pretty decent. I tried it a bit but didn't want to use it because I realized I was already dealing with enough .NET and wanted a change.

Also seems pretty hostile towards KDE's MauiKit from an ethical standpoint, as it is both older and trademarked afaik.
