The collective WinDev has always had a reputation of trying to shoot down anything not C++. Singularity and Midori included.
Let's not forget the time they tried to make the shell of Vista use .NET and WPF, but only got less experienced developers to do that while getting the more experienced developers to work on everything else, almost guaranteeing it's failure in order to say "see, told you so".
I was shocked when it was revealed the new Windows store and maybe even the default Mail app are now fully C#/.NET on UWP. That would have been impossible in previous Microsoft eras.
