Telerik Reporting => .NET Reporting - Core, Blazor, WPF, Angular | Telerik Reporting[^] - Native Report Viewers for all platforms like WPF, Winforms, Blazor, etc. - Fantastic HTML5 ReportViewer for everything else, which includes a powerful REST service that is a drop in for your web project (just add a 5 line controller and a DLL) - Standalone desktop Report Designer - Visual Studio Report Designer (but only useful if you're going the old school PITA C#-only reports) - Web Report Designer that can be embedded in your application - Report Server, which is a prebuilt one-stop shop if you do not want to have build an application aroud the viewers. It has user management, data management, etc [full disclosure, I work for Progress... but I have also tried many other Reporting solutions and this is still the best]
Without a doubt, the best tool for this is Winareo Tweaker. Winaero Tweaker[^] Not only can you remove the annoying things you don't like, you can do a crapload of other nice-to-have configs, with just a few button clicks.
If you're considering trying it again, OneNote has a web version (works well with any chromium based browser)

Even with code conversion, you still need to consider other important platform/runtime things like memory management, app lifecycle, error handling, etc. Converters are great for getting the equivalent syntax/type/class/method, but if you rely on it as a whole-project solution... you're going to get very intimate with the debugger :) Even when converting code in the same framework/runtime, like https://converter.telerik.com does, there are newer features in C# that VB doesn't have yet (e.g. Pattern matching).
