Visual Studio becomes ever more "pie in the face"

There is no Czechoslovakia since 1993. So, according to the Update link, they have absorbed as much Russian/Belorussian gene as they could.
Isn't there a forum rule about "no politics"?

Very interesting response, thanks.

Not quite sure what this intriguing analogy means. Is WPF or UWP (or Maui ?) any less "mammoth controls" because you describe them in XAML, rather drag-drop icons onto a Form ? I'd say Maui, which imho is still a flawed prototype, has few controls because it has long delayed development by a mis-led fresh team that took on far more than they could handle and got pressured into alpha/beta releases that were unusable. The long lasting "common controls," as quirky as different zoo animals, often wrappers around COM fossils, are still here because they are useful and powerful. But, yeah, an asteroid is coming that will destroy the current dinosaurs :) cheers, Bill

Hello, Let me try to explain my words. When I say "common controls" I mean edit/combo/listbox/list/tree controls with event driven data flow. When I say common controls I mean Windows 3.X and its descendants. Windows Forms, like Delphi previously, use this model with a few extensions. When I say drugs addicted design I mean a new approach when framework developers are too lazy or to dump to implement all the common controls and pass this work to the application developers. My favorite example - Android GUI. WPF and its next approach called UWP are another examples of this kind of technology.
