I watched a few Build 2014 presentations and it was stated on several occasions that Windows Forms and WPF are both mature technologies and while they will be supported in near future, we should not expect any new development of these APIs. All current new UI developments are focused on Windows Store apps.
I'm just starting with C# and .NET and I have to decide, which UI to use. My applications are industrial control type, which require 3D visualization and interfacing with real time sensors. Windows Store apps are out of question, because of WinRT sandboxing, which limits OS APIs availability. What is the most "future proof" choice for UI? Should I go with WPF? Is anything more modern available for desktop applications?
