> Microsoft still lacks a cross-platform desktop UI framework

Avalonia to the rescue: https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia

Personally I don't need crossplatform (desktop) GUI at all. Backend is enough for me.

Same. No use for desktop GUI apps in SaaS CRUD apps.

I believe x platform ui is planned for net 6, ie nov 2021
