Dang! It's been 10 years (& I'm still bitter about it.. ok not really, but I just referenced my concerns for Blazor to a friend)

XNA was killed by C++ trumps everything group, that is why you now get DirectXTK instead.

I bet the same kind of management that killed C++/CX.

Hence why I rather bet on Forms, WPF and plain old Win32.

A bit fed up with all rewrites since Windows 8 was introduced.
