So many things that working good or at least fine or were fixable with an easy workaround in #Xamarin are so buggy in #dotnetmaui to a point I like to constantly shake the makers 😩
CollectionView behaving strange and then differently on iOS and Android (scrolls to top even if set to use last position), items rendering different on both platforms and wrong with Grids-in-Grids … binding in Android broken in this one case for specific views list goes on and on 😤

So sure: „Xamarin is end of live. We won’t offer an update to compile with Xamarin 16. you should migrate to MAUI - it’s good, fast, really, believe us“

Dear Microsoft: do you know that companies using .net and Xamarin for really(!) big(!) Apps in a B2B scenario? I mean really serious stuff, not simple two pager with coffee recipes you know …

This all so so sad. And bad. And sad. You think you finally have it - then you test the other platform and you have to research for workarounds again

And no, it’s not possible to „just switch to flutter or reactive or something“ - we have really complex frameworks for registering, communicating via cloud, sending/exchanging data etc.

I need to get all apps up and running soon and again the collectionView is driving me nuts! DeveloperExpress is way to expensive to use it as simple list.

Any working alternatives? That is performant, can handle variable item height, ScrollTo etc?
