@d_feldman Microsoft is heartless with layoffs. Two of the top sales employees in the company (who I happened to also work with at @xamarinhq ) got laid off a few years back. One week they were being celebrated, driven in a limo to dinner with the CEO (no joke!). The next, unemployed.

Definitely not stagnating. Definitely not declining. Xamarin is a mature framework that has been around since 2011, and there are only so many .NET devs + Mobile devs in the world. Has Xamarin's market share plateaued? Perhaps. But it's a testament to its maturity.

I recommend that new Xamarin.Forms devs build their UIs in C#. If you already know XAML, great - use it. But if you don't, it adds an unnecessary additional learning curve. Learning C#, iOS, Android, and Forms is challenging enough without another layer of complexity.

I've been asking around and I haven't yet gotten an inspiring answer. So here we go....to the twitters. I'm a new developer. Should I use XAML? Convince me why I will 😻 it. Share your passion. GO!

Wouldn't it be great if C# allowed type-safe event handlers? Instead of this: void HandleButtonEvent(object sender, EventArgs e) { var button = (Button)sender; //Handle Event } We could do this: void HandleButtonEvent(Button sender, EventArgs e) { //Handle Event }

@jtclancey Congrats man! It really sucks to see so much awesome talent leaving Microsoft. If anyone in the Leadership Team is listening: we’re losing our top talent because you keep saying “everyone is replaceable”, and it’s a slap in the face to all of us.

It is misleading for the .NET Team to take credit for the work my team has done. We are community members who donate our time to improve .NET MAUI and fill gaps that improve the .NET MAUI developer experience.
