Microsoft .NET MAUI devs vent over bugs backlog, response times

Mark_Redman

There are things to consider

I am pretty new to the word of cross platform development, in terms of IOS, Android and MacOS, or anything that doesn't run on windows having used .Net since I found the beta on a magazine in about 2001/2002 and moved over from Delphi. I am very super familiar with .net in all flavours and spend my life in Visual Studio (I don't work for Microsoft but, I am a fan)

Having said that I have now done a fair bit of work in MAUI now, and I do have frustrations, many frustrations.. however

If one considers the history of MAUI, see this video for the full history

You will see that consolidating all this technology is a Massive! task, and fair play to Microsoft for taking this on and making it happen.

How many times have you heard "release early" to get your product out there, well releasing early does get people using it and it does speed up the development and community update and support.

Like all new tech and given the way Microsoft approach all development tool, you can be sure that MAUI will get better and get the love it deserves...

This was the same with .net core, if you used .net core and every version since V1.... or Version 1 of anything for that matter.

If this still just sounds like a fanboy post, you probably haven't watched the video.
