Where can I find design examples of modern desktop interfaces?

Question

User interface

Fellow designers. Who was involved in the design of GUI windows applications. Tell us, do they still make interfaces like Word in 2019, or has everything changed somehow? In general, I didn’t find any information on the topic, it seems that the desktop programs stopped writing and everyone rushed to mobile and the web. No examples, no selections in the spirit of the top 10 ...
From what I found, supposedly in UWP on Windows 10 now some kind of dashboard-like design is welcomed, they want the same Word, they still have the same top panel .. And I just need to design a Word-like program with a lot of icons ... I don’t even know for sure whether the icons should be placed at the top, because it looks somehow old-fashioned. Although all modern programs such as sketch, photoshop, 3dmax still use the same pattern. And most likely my program on winforms! And here's another 2) question: what restrictions does wpf have, does it support Windows younger than win7? Or is the developer stupidly lazy, how difficult is it to convert from winform to wpf or uwp?
Let's break the ice of silence on this topic! Who knows what to share, this infa is a storehouse! Though on Mac desktop, even on Unix, even on Windows. The main desktop GUI, not mobile, web.

Answer 1

First, the choice of interface style and the organization of forms and their content should be chosen according to the target audience, the way of use and, in general, the task.
Study your target audience , what programs (interface styles) they are used to working with, and choose one. offices fall into a stupor. The more uniform the user's workplace looks, the easier it is for him and support.
Think carefully, do you have a desktop? What equipment does your target audience have. And then I saw a project that was mediocrely washed down on flex (adobe flash) in the browser, under the screen in fullhd 24 "+ and users have 15"-17" laptops or square monitors, which is why almost all forms do not fit into the screen ( there was such a trash, like leaving vertical scrolling, i.e. you need to turn horizontal to get to it, there was a lot of stuff...)
Think carefully, people will work with a mouse or a finger (touch screen), this greatly changes the style and the actual operation of the interface - clicks or gestures, whether to make small controls or suffer from megalomania.
There is also the direction of the interface - question-answer. Remember, the user interface is one of the forms of providing documentation. Those. if the interface is convenient enough to work without documentation, it's a good interface. If users will visit you once a year, then sometimes a sequential set of question-and-answer wizards (no more than 10 options in the choice) may be the most preferable.
ps if you ask me about the metro - this is the worst direction of interfaces, eating up valuable space in narrow widescreen monitors. Management controls and information panels should be on the side.
If you ask about styles, I like the win7 style, strict brightly highlighted windows (header, border), voluminous buttons, laconic forms and modal windows, etc. but for some reason it is considered obsolete.
Flat and sparse win10 controls are from the world of mobile finger-oriented, miniature screens of smartphones and tablets, as well as the web. Pulling them to the desktop is the height of bullying.

Answer 2

Yes, it seems that now half of the software is on Electron. And this is the same web. Skype, Slack, Noshen.
I think you need to dance first of all on the development opportunities in your project.
