You can make CAD programs with any toolkit as long as you have a GPU surface to render your actual CAD output to. You can do anything with this toolkit from weather apps to video editors, map analysis, and PDF editors.

You can check out the Avalonia demo reel to see what you can already do with the .NET GUI stack that MAUI now uses on Linux and on the web: https://avaloniaui.net/showcase



GPU surface is one thing, but I believe OP means the actual UI controls: buttons, tabs, combo boxes, data grids, multi-window support, etc...


I don't think that's a problem? The .NET library this is about, that now supports MAUI code unchanged, is already used in programs like https://github.com/sourcegit-scm/sourcegit/blob/master/scree... and https://github.com/GPUOpen-Tools/GPU-Reshape/blob/main/Docum...


This + a reasonable data transaction layer that supports undo and reasonably large (multi gb) data structures.
