WPF is pretty much alive for desktop applications and its architecture (XAML + Blend tooling) is the foundation of UWP applications.

Windows Forms is officially dead as communicated at Build a few years ago. It is now playing chess with Carbon.

MFC is officially on life support. Way forward for C++ developers is UWP.

Everything from Win32 that isn't required for UWP support is deprecated and Project Centipede is the official way to bring Win32 applications into the new shinning UWP world.




TIL. Thanks for this, been wanting to keep my finger on the pulse of Windows development, but am quite distant at the moment (no Windows hardware).
