Any direct experiences using this? I've been looking for a good multiplatform UI for desktop that does Mac/Linux/Windows. Mobile is a nice side benefit. It would be nice to use C# again

No, I'm not interested in Electron. Blegh.

Having used WinForms and WPF and Xamarin, it's great to see a more cross-platform approach.

How does it compare to jetpack compose and the web? (ergonomics, capabilities, performance)

What is the 2D renderer being used, skia?

Usually the biggest selling point of non web GUIs is being NOT js. If only Microsoft could integrate graalVM in Edge/electron then we could all use our favorite language in the feature complete APIs of the web.

Yes! But also with desktop targets instead of just mobile targets.

As it says right at the top of their README: "Evolution of Xamarin.Forms"
