About GUI on .NET Framework:
- Windows form works but not perfect. The editor works if you install the template for it, but not the auto generation of code, like double click on button -> handler generated. You write code programmatically. but is used a lot. I use it in the repl (fsi), to generate chart, custom data visualization.
- WPF the same, works, no editor (but codegen is less needed)
- Xamarin support F# ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/cross-platform/plat... ) on Forms, etc
Some good from community+MS, because community tried to adapt techonologies and make it more friendly to use in F#
- Xamarin XAML in Elmish style, really more idiomatic ( https://github.com/fsprojects/Elmish.XamarinForms ) from F# creator itself (Don Syme, who now work on xamarin division too)
- WPF and Xamarin xaml can be used with a type provider too for statically type view at compile type ( http://fsprojects.github.io/FsXaml/ )
The only one not yet supported is UWP, because of of .NET Native.
All that without speaking of the gui stack outside .net framework, like electron+fable or just fable+elmish/react/react.native ( https://github.com/SAFE-Stack/SAFE-Nightwatch )
