IMO, and with seeing the mem perf, although Electron.net is a great alternative, its eating memory like any other ElectronJs products which are chromium based. Except for that, they work well on cross platforms. If its only windows, i'd incline towards WPF/UWP.

While .net Core based WPF is grooming with some win32/com being excluded, i am hoping to see it turning to be supporting cross platform soon (at least in the growing future versions).

In the meantime, I see Blazor as an excellent alternative for cross-platform user interfaces. The web is cross-platform by its nature, and I see many people from the .NET community moving in that direction. Other than that,

I agree with your comment. There will always be different technologies around, and we, as developers, need to make the decision based on our requirements.
