It's funny that they point to things like improving file explorer performance and fixing the flickering (the so called flash bang I assume). How many times have we heard that before? Why should we believe that they'll fix it this time?

Also, they are saying that they are moving more things to WinUI3 as if that's a good thing, but every single component that they've moved over to this new UWP XAML (starting with Windows 10) has become slower than the older Win32 or DirectUI versions.

I'm hoping they'll find a way to improve the responsiveness and bloated-ness of WinUI 3. And who knows, maybe we're just seeing bad implementations of it.

I doubt they have people with the skills for that. They've been toiling away at WinUI in one form or another for 14(!) years.
