@tosensei yup, MS seems to be the only remaining player which still uses xml fur UI.
Everyone else learned that it crap and moved on to something better. -
Ok the web uses xml based UI, too. And it’s the biggest pile of crap in existence. But at least it has the excuse that it can’t migrate to something else quite as easily as MS could.

nebula17853y@Lensflare yes, been there, done that. and maui today feels like xam in the early days.
what a shit show promoting this as "stable" -
@azuredivay The classic Android UI is xml based, yes. But there is also Jetpack Compose now and it is intended to replace the old stuff in the future.
MS on the other hand, invents something new for the future (again) and it is xml based (again).
Probably to be deprecated after a couple of years and to be replaced by something new and different (again). -
nebula17853ywell, the xaml part is not really the issue. only issue there is that you can nest things that should not be nested - without any warning.
the issue is that maui needs at least a year more development and a lot more resources allocated from microsoft. it's not even close to stable in any term
May it be that .NET MAUI is supposed to be a Souls like title for developers?
Never experienced such pain creating even the simplest things :-|
