alt Hacker NewsWhy do you think Windows is currently such a mess?
Microsoft new blood has been educated on Macs and ChromeOS, even if they do games it is most likely consoles.
On WinUI community calls you usually would get puzzled faces when the Q&A touched when would WinUI be able to do "insert basic Win32/Forms/WPF" feature.
Management apparently doesn't care they actually understand Windows, or get the required trainings to meet the quality of their predecessors.
That is how you get Webview2 all over the place.

There have been some writings and posts here about Microsoft. Here is one from last spring, from a guy that was long time Windows core developer and moved to Azure group. It's well worth reading, what he writes about challenges they have had and most likely still have if not even worse now.
