Excellent summary of the stupid state of Windows native GUI app development after the complete lack of direction or coherence Microsoft has shown. Not to mention the irony of Visual Studio not having a GUI designer for anything except Windows Forms.
A lot of people complain about this, but there seemed to be a reasonable XAML designer when I was making my WinUI 3 app. I didn't really use it (my app was simple enough that hand-crafting the XAML felt worthwhile to ensure everything was nicely aligned and not full of any unnecessary designer gunk). So I suspect it does suck, since otherwise people would not complain as much. But one does exist.
