Microsoft uses React Native in parts of Windows 11's system UI, including the Start menu and Settings app. This is surprising given Microsoft maintains eight different UI frameworks for Windows, including .NET MAUI and WinUI 3. WinUI 3 faces acknowledged performance issues, with Microsoft partners sometimes recommending the older WPF framework for performance-critical applications instead.

imagine how horrible dx of their windows development frameworks are that they would rather use React Native than their own framework

Windows should really go back and build a good and stable system.

Personally, I have gone away from windows. I use Ubuntu as my main but also develop on MAC. Just love me some good old fashioned “sudo” ;-)

ALWAYS use the best tool for the job. Never get blinded or stuck in a position that says there is only one way to do something.
Microsoft maintains and invests in React Native for Windows because it allows developers to build native Windows apps using JavaScript and React. Key advantages for the Windows development team include:
Code Reusability: It allows for sharing core business logic with web platforms.
Developer Productivity: Features like Fast Refresh significantly speed up the development cycle, as changes to JavaScript code can be seen instantly without needing a full app rebuild.
Native Fidelity: Because React Native for Windows uses WinUI for rendering, the resulting components have the authentic native look, performance, and accessibility of the Windows OS.
