Frozen is usually a good thing.

> Microsoft is just making UWP similar to what Google is making with AndroidX, detaching the technology from the OS version.

> Is not WinUI the extraction of the UI part of the UWP stack? Yes namespaces break, but concepts and controls are from the same linage. UWP is more than the UI. It has also sandboxing and deployment.

The UWP has everything except a GUI.

So everyday a new framework. How many days will pass until UWP will be obsolete ?

> This basically fixes all of them by building a common umbrella that all existing UI toolkits (UWP, WPF, WinForms, Win32) can use.
