QuestionWin Forms, WPF, WinUI 3 Pin

Okay, I don't think this is a rant, but there may be some ranting. I've been a developer for a very very long time (I won't say how long, but let's just say I used to use Borland OWL). I understand that languages and libraries progress, morph, and change over time. That is natural.

However, being someone that came from the days where you can drag a button onto a window, double click it and add the code (Forms), and when you want to modify it, you just do it in the editor, to this last application I am making using WinUI 3, which I find painful to make.

Is it just me, or have we taken a massive step backwards? Not having a GUI editor for making GUIs, and then having to download an application (WinUI 3 Examples) that shows how components and code need added, is just stupid to me. Not to mention that when you use panels, stack panels, grids and all that in XML, and then you realize you have to introduce another set of controls into an existing GUI....and see that it takes like hours of rework to get it not to be a mess again...WTF? Why are we moving in this direction? Not to mention, WinUI 3 seems wonky and lacking in performance relative the predecessors.

So, my general question is... Why does WinUI 3 bring to the table that is so good that you would abandon the ability to have a GUI editor, and hand jam everything in. This is no better than the first days of windows when we all had to make GUIs by editing the resource files.

So again. Why is Windows Forms falling out of favor, Why is WPF even being replaced by something that seems more obtuse?

I am going to build another App soon, and I would like someone to tell me why Windows Forms is not a good choice over WinUI 3.... Anyone?

Thanks.
