For what it's worth I skipped WinForms entirely and went straight to WPF. I was developing the UI for a new product, with my choices being our existing C++/MFC implementation or changing to C#/.NET. WinForms seemed to be a relatively thin layer over the Windows API, and wasn't an improvement over MFC. WPF offered vastly more flexible layout handling and a lot more basic capability out-of-the-box.
The end result is a nice-looking, adaptive, 'fluent' user interface in an industry where most UI's are an afterthought with no regard for the system operator. There are products out there where the $2M machine has a text-mode  user interface.

That's a very good argument.
Data binding in WinForms is... clunky at best.
It works great with HTML and JavaScript (and frameworks such as Vue.js), that was a real eye-opener for me when I switched to web.
I can only imagine it works pretty much the same in WPF.
The last time I created a new desktop app is at least four years ago though

It's you're fault. pay attention to the urls.
We have to tell our end users that over and over and over anew.
You're a coder.
You should know better.

I know... and exactly that's a big part of my rant...
One second don't double checked (trusting the fvcking Google) and plof...
But don't worry... my "paranoia" level just got a huge push
Edit:

And that's why too... the second part of the rant: that google doesn't know / can't differentiate which is the good site, I extremely doubt it. So, what the elephant does a bad (potentially dangerous) result do in the first place?

A few minutes ago, I got a ad from Corel offering me an upgrade of my existing PaintShop Pro 2019 to the 2020 version, for £39.99.
Only one detail, guys: I bought and installed the upgrade, along with the full Painter 2019 app, Pinnacle Studio 23, and a couple of other bits yesterday from Humble for $25 (£21.11 including PayPal exchange rate) ...
BTW: if you are looking for PSP (or even just the full version of Painter rather than the Express version) the bundle is available for another week or so: Humble Software Bundle: Painter - Create With Confidence (pay what you want and help charity)[^]

I never got why Corel didn't do any better after its destruction.
I mean, if you want to go to the very popular Gold Saucer you have to go through Corel.
You'd think they'd get SOMETHING out of all that tourism!

I think they offered you a special customized version with lots of new plugins like the sheep effects plugin
|

If you still have 2019 installed, that's the one asking to be upgraded. It's just jealous of your 2020 installation.

I still get by just fine with Photo Shop 7 (circa 2002).

in bits of and in gates of if we are
possessed of what was then or now at hand
or know what is and what it is is for
and we are then as we were then before
the it that came upon us as we slept
the it that might be or it will become
the if it is that what we might be man's
obsession with the thing the if and can
the will still be or will not be the core
for bits and bits of mind forevermore -
if ifs and then's will still then tell the score
and more and more if more is more or more
the wars and loves and buts and whys of man
in bits of and by fate is all we can

My worry is when driverless taxi's come out goggle or [absolute worst case] facebork will decide that's their next platform.
not sure I'm willing to swap the instantly forgettable random drivel of someone I'll never meet again for 'targeted' (actual def: "this is what we are paid to pitch at you") bullshit.
of course [traveling with your 'smart' phone] they're gonna know and learn more about you than yourself even before stepping in to the taxi - and you'll have to pay them for that pleasure.
I say train chimps to drive taxi's, yeah sure they like to throw their own dung at you
- but I'll take sh*t that washes off over paid sh*t that can't be unseen and wastes brain cells.
Oh and just to add even more detail to our bright futures
next we'll see farcebork and GM/Ford deciding to work together: giving us cheaper (i.e. 'sponsored') private cars ...
and soon after go on to make that the only option available ...
nobody's selling their souls to the devil anymore, we're paying him to take it.
