SörenNotepad on Windows 11 clearly has a “status bar” of sorts. But the #WinUI3 Gallery seems to show no such control (nor does the community toolkit). Did the Notepad team do their own custom thing? Does it go by a different name?

Today, I looked into the nightmare hellscape that is #WinUI3/ #MAUI re: #a11y.
Immediate problem: There's a toolbox to insert controls, but otherwise no design view to be able to TAB through the control hierarchy.
Even with #IntelliSense, writing out ass loads of #XAML and #CSharp by hand is ridiculous!
All that boilerplate code is exactly something that AI *should* be able to help with. Too bad there's so much capitalism.
Tl;dr: Do you want a #WinUI3 app? Write 75% of the GUI code by hand.
Matt LaceyI don't get the complaints about using IValueConverters in XAML.
If you don't like how they work, do or use something different.
