| The Xamarin successor is MAUI, which is the MS offer in the

| Yes. It can use either XAML or C# markup. I think it uses the

| Windows, Mac, web, Android, and iOS at least.

| You're totally right.
|
| Uno sits on top of .NET for iOS/Android, aka Xamarin
| "Classic".
|
| Single Project/Single Codebase with your choice of XAML or C#
| Markup, choice of Native or Skia-based rendering, works with
| VS/Code/Rider on Windows/macOS/Linux.

| Xamarin/Maui try to allow people to build cross-platform apps

| familiar with and/or prefer UWP to develop on other platforms
| than just windows.

| Uno here. We have the same goals: Single Codebase Cross-
| Platform, targeting Web, Mobile and Desktop (including
| Linux). Uno runs everywhere .NET runs.
|
| The approach is different where instead of creating an
| entirely new API, we aligned with WinUI's api (and UWP
| previously), making it source-code compatible with WinUI so
| you can leverage the WinUI's ecosytem (CommunityToolkit, 3rd
| party controls, ...).
|
| By aligning with WinUI, you also get access to all the
| trained LLMs that already know about UWP/WinUI and therefore
| also work on Uno.

| Not a user experience answer per se but there is

| define UI declaratively in a style that is even closer to
| SwiftUI than "Uno C# markup".
