I really like it. It is a great framework and it is pleasant working with.
I have been a developer on the Windows desktop for over 20 years and have seen a lot. In recent years, I did a lot of WPF. Line-of-business applications mostly and some custom controls. But WPF is Windows only, which bothered me a lot.
So I was very interested in AvaloniaUI right from the start. It was a rough experience with the early versions but with 0.10 it matured a lot and I did not hit any major issues since then. Version 11 now feels quite polished and complete. Documentation is still scarce unfortunately but the library code is excellently written and well designed so you can find your way around. This is mostly a challenge when you are writing controls yourself though, because there you need to get in touch with the internals. Knowledge from WPF translates well to AvaloniaUI and where there are differences, they are usually improvements.
Desktop applications run effortlessly on Windows/Linux/MacOS, so I am happy. 10/10 would recommend! (I have no experience with AvaloniaUI and mobile/web).
