Does anyone use F# for cross platform desktop app development? What framework do you use?
Is there a platform that you need that's not supported by Fabulous? Most of what you need should be covered by Fabulous.MauiControls.
- Anyone Using Ionic Capacitor for an F# Mobile App?
-
can I replace c# with f# in everywhere?
Fabulous is actively working on adding a MAUI target. I think this is the most promising way we'll be able to use F# with MAUI as it takes an MVU approach.

Fabulous 2.0 on Windows
2.) If possible, it might be easier to wait for MAUI support in Fabulous 2.0. See https://github.com/fsprojects/Fabulous/issues/747 and/or https://github.com/fsprojects/Fabulous/issues/831.

Hot-reload in Fun.Blazor
But luckily I still remember Fabulous has hot-reload years ago, which is using FSharp.Compiler.PortaCode. So I start to try on that. And it turns out to integrate it is pretty simple.

.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.

[1] https://github.com/dotnet/maui (try out with just true in csproj - it is known to work e.g. on iOS)

State of mobile app development within the .NET ecosystem?
Uno Platform can be both XAML or C# Markup if you use https://github.com/VincentH-Net/CSharpForMarkup with it.

Modern C# software development framework
And if you use https://github.com/VincentH-Net/CSharpForMarkup with it, you can have an all-around C# approach for both front end and back end.

What are your gripes with XAML?
Maybe some c# markup libraries like this one. But I haven't use that so you'd need to check yourself

Performance Improvements in .NET 6
To manage mental mapping of what is being drawn, I keep methods that create widget trees short. My rule of thumb is that whole method has to comfortably fit the screen at once. For each section of the main tree I create a static function that returns a branch of the tree. These functions have descriptive names that help you visualize what element each function builds. If a tree inside a function is long, it is broken down in the same way.
There are some fluent extensions (for Xamarin.Forms and probably future MAUI) that help you build UI in declarative fashion with C#. Same extensions could be created for other frameworks.

https://github.com/VincentH-Net/CSharpForMarkup
For reusable custom widgets that can't be done with a static function, I create new classes with their own widget trees. Try to keep widgets composable and avoid inheritance if possible.
Hot reload is coming in .NET 6, so waiting for rebuild will soon be history.
I have no experience with QML so I can't really comment on that.
