Developers are frustrated by the lack of a cross-language GUI markup standard, which forces them into Microsoft-specific technologies for desktop app development and stifles competition.
Existing GUI frameworks are either platform-specific (like WinUI) or framework-specific (like Tk/QT), locking developers into particular languages or ecosystems instead of providing a universal, language-agnostic markup standard for building GUIs.
