WPF

I am discovering that I like HTML and CSS better than WPF. It's such an architectural mess, worse, IMHO, than HTML and CSS. Marc

When HTML and CSS are better than something, you know that something is all kinds of f***** up. And I fully agree.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Kind of a false equivalency. HTML+CSS is more akin to just XAML. The full comparison to WPF is only achieved with the addition of JS and I'll take C# over JS any day.

Agreed! However...the bizarre nature of command routing, the constant casting (at least on the app I'm working on) and other strange things I don't quite remember right now make even the C# part of it an unpleasant experience. Marc

It's like anything else. When you work with it all the time, it becomes straightforward.

I felt the same way when I started out with WPF, but now that I have a good understanding of how to exploit it, I love it! Be patient - I predict it will grow on you eventually! For one thing: It is fantastic for creating loosely coupled code. :)
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

If you are referring to the ICommand silliness, I can agree and that's way I stay away from it. I build my own WPF apps from the UI to the code behind to the database that it pulls from. I like WPF as it is a lot easier to build with and understand than MFC ever was to me (I know C and C++ but I am still not confident enough with memory management to write business apps with them). The thing that I don't really care for with WPF is that somebody at MS decided to put everything including the kitchen sink into it. There is so much going on under the hood that you have to be a master at Googling because it is impossible to remember how to use it all.

Exactly! Marc
