It is what happens when passionate advocates feel betrayed by all the mismanagement that has happened since Windows 8.

I switched from someone that was kind found of WinRT, as what .NET 1.0 should have been, AOT compiled languages built on top of COM, improving the VB 6 experience, to someone burned out with the experience, back into Web development and distributed systems.

However, Microsoft keeps talking as if everything was tiptop, and that angers me thus I keep track of how bad things still are, and spend time making others aware of the false promises.

For example, I bet no one is aware that C++/WinRT is actually in maintenance, and the team responsible for killing C++/CX, is now having fun with Rust on windows-rs.

Yet Microsoft talks about using C++ to develop WinUI applications, as if the tooling was at the same level as using C++ Builder or Qt/QtBuilder.
