PWA are multiplatforms while C# still hasn't a first party multiplatform GUI toolkit. Which is shame, because the dev experience in XAML+C# is really good, and Silverlight out of Browser was exactly that.



Avalonia is not first party (Microsoft). It’s also still in development and not production ready.


Xamarin.


No. Xamarin focuses on mobile apps, not desktop. Also, you have to chose between Forms which is ugly everywhere, and Native which require a non trivial understanding of each underlying platform.


WinUI and UWP seem like desktop to me, plus there are plenty of other ones,

Just like with Qt, Flutter, wxWidgets, Gtk+, Swing and JavaFX, Forms is only ugly when one cannot bother having designers on the team.
