WPF is positioned as a successor to WinForms, but given Microsoft’s practice of abandoning toolkits (and what I perceive a s’bloat’ in WPF), are there any recommended alternatives?
I don’t think you need to worry about WPF being abandoned. WinForm was around for a long time, and WPF is the replacement.
Bloat? I don’t know. It seems like a huge upgrade from WinForms to me. If there’s bloat it’s always going to be there because underneath everything is the Win32 API. Until that gets rewritten from scratch I don’t think anything will be perfect. And since every toolkit targeted at the Windows platform has to deal with that, I had rather go with WPF and ReSharper.
