UI framework selection decision tree for .NET applications. Covers Web (Blazor Server, Blazor WebAssembly, Blazor Hybrid), cross-platform (MAUI, Uno Platform, Avalonia), and Windows-only (WinUI 3, WPF, WinForms) frameworks. Presents structured trade-off analysis across five decision factors to help teams evaluate options based on their specific constraints.
