Industrial Controller? Windows or Linux?
You might also want to look at AvaloniaUI[0] for a cross platform .NET GUI library. It is similar to WPF but much nicer to work with.

AvaloniaUI: Create Multi-Platform Apps with .NET
Do you mean accessibility? I did notice disappointing non-native-like behaviours when I tried typing in an AvaloniaUI textbox but I'm hopeful they will manage to solve that and other issues.
For example, pressing a space will always introduce a new item in the undo/redo history [0] which isn't how native textboxes work.

Production user here. There's no money gotchas. They're above reproach. In fact, I've received considerable free support from their devs on GitHub Issues [1].
The Avalonia business model is based on selling XPF, which runs WPF (Windows-only) apps on other platforms. That's very interesting to big corps with existing codebases.

Ask HN: Do you have a problem you'd pay to have taken away?
Not my comment, but relevant here "The problem with compiling Skia to WASM is you'll lose any benefits of hardware graphics acceleration on the device."

.NET 8 – .NET Blog
It's a bit of a hit and miss as of today. CLI, back-end and natively compiled libraries (think dll/so/dylib or even .lib/.a - you can statically link NAOT binaries into other "unmanaged" code) work best, GUI - requires more work.
Avalonia[0] and MAUI[1] have known working templates with it, but YMMV.

One Game, by One Man, on Six Platforms: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
For desktop, Avalonia, hands down.
Open source, powered by Skia, backed by JetBrains, and quite battle-tested at this point for small to medium-sized apps. In theory perfectly capable for enterprise as well, since it's basically a spiritual successor to WPF, which has been an industry standard for about 15 years.
They're diving into mobile and WASM well, but that's more of a recent effort and I haven't tested that yet.

WPF Good UI Framework and Controls
How is this outdated? The MaterialDesign one especially is being updated all the time. You think this doesn't look good?

MAUI and Linux : does it actually make sense ?
I strongly disagree. Telerik and others are way overpriced for what they are, especially when the stellar materialdesigninxaml ( http://materialdesigninxaml.net/ ) exists, is community based and perfectly maintained, and is completely free. No one can say this is lacking.

So i rewrote WinUI to WPF
WinUI is a user interface API. OP recreated a lot of the UI controls, styling, etc. in his own UI library in WPF. It's similar to other efforts like the open-source project creating Google Material Design UI libraries to be used in WPF applications.
