Microsoft Reactor: C# WinUI, Electron's WebView2 Shift, and AI Coding Trade-offs

Microsoft's experimental Reactor framework lets developers describe WinUI interfaces in C#, while Teams migrates from Electron to WebView2 for performance gains; however, Reactor doesn't fix WinUI's ecosystem gaps, and AI coding tools reduce learning curves but shift complexity to per-app native concerns like UI threading and object lifecycles.
