Microsoft has created so many UI frameworks: Blazor, Razor, .NET MAUI / Xamarin Native / Xamarin Forms, WinUI3, UWP, Win32, WinForms, WPF, even a React Native desktop thing. That they didn't pick _any_ of these for Teams 2.0 is really quite impressive.

Been there. The only comfort I can offer is a counter-intuitive truth: that sometimes the harshest words are said in the safest environments, because they know that acceptance and love is unconditional and they can let off steam in ways that would destroy any other relationship.

OK, Flutter on Apple Silicon turns out to be pretty impressive. This is an app for iOS, Android, iOS/Catalyst, macOS, web and Windows, all running on the same machine, as well as Android Studio, Xcode, VSCode. Same codebase. Fanless. Fast. Wow.
