I am at the beginning of the development of a commercial application in C#, however, I have my doubts about how I will do the visual part of the application (UI).
I’ve worked with Windows Forms and WPF. At Microsoft’s Build event in 2014, it was said that Windows Forms no longer receives new Features, just bug fixes, which worries me a little bit. The cons of WPF is performance when it comes to developing. In large projects, WPF is not the best option. The XAML editor in Visual Studio hangs too much! I’ve tried several configurations and several different versions of VS, it has no performance time to develop in large projects. UWP wouldn’t be a good option for me either, if I’m not mistaken, it only works on Windows 8 or higher with the introduction of Metro. (correct me if I’m wrong!)
I have no problem learning a new technology, I have plenty of time.

What are the most recommended to create the user interface I can use with C# + Visual Studio under my conditions?
It seems that you have researched well and know everything you need objectively. What else could be said besides opinions of people who each like more?

@bigown no opinions, need alternatives!!

@Just bigown? None seems to meet my requirements.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the desktop where no solution is suitable :D The only extra alternative someone uses is GTK#, but on Linux, because there is nothing better. In Windows it is the worst choice ever.
