Is Windows Presentation Foundation dead?

Question

WPF

Previously, I used WinForms for my tasks, I decided to try Windows Presentation Foundation.
All articles that I find are a maximum of 2012. Out of a hundred, 5 original 2014-2015 years came across, the rest are either old or reprinted.
Where can I find up-to-date information on WPF (other than MSDN, I mean a blog/forum with up-to-date techniques, best practices, lessons, etc.)? (possible in English, possible in Russian)
I searched for such things (googled in English: wpf gif animation / wpf clear cookie / wpf silent js webbrowser): gif playback (ended up using a package from NuGet, not a native component), hiding alert 'a about js errors in WebBrowser (I just found some hellish crutches on StackOverflow and other places), clearing cookies and cache (I still can't find a working version).
At the same time, does WinForms have everything out of the box for all these tasks?
Maybe I missed something and WPF is no longer supported and I need to switch back to WInForms?
Anyone in the know, please explain.

Answer 1

Your data is out of date. There was talk about this two years ago , but now WPF is alive and well. A few years ago, Microsoft developed ASP.NET and UWP, there were not enough resources for the development of WPF (in principle, it was already quite developed anyway). But in 2014, a WPF update appeared (on Habré 1 and 2 ). And in the future, too, will develop. Microsoft is still betting on WPF, there are no other technologies to replace it (except for UWP, but they are far from completely overlapping).
There are problems in WPF, of course, there is room to grow. But it was a giant step forward from WinForms. And the fact that some things are not "in the box", but are in NuGet - so take it and use it! WPF has provided a convenient platform where it's easy to add things that aren't there.

Answer 2

Actually never dead. We work with it and everything is fine, if something is missing, we write it ourselves.
As already mentioned, WPF is a very "giant step forward" - one binding is worth a lot.

Answer 3

wpf gif animation/wpf clear cookie/wpf silent js webbrowser

You need a browser, judging by the requests, and not WPF, which is for desktop applications.

Answer 4

Nothing has happened in the world of WPF in the last many years. At the moment, the technology is alive, but does not look promising. Perhaps it is worth paying attention to the use of Web technologies for building a UI. Returning to WinForms is certainly a less promising undertaking. Everyone wants cross-platform and even MS is working in this direction, so it remains to wait or fence your bikes.
