C#/XAML for HTML5 new Beta 10.0

As much as I love C# & XAML, I have trouble imagining why I would use this stack instead of writing JS/HTML5 directly.

Looking at the website, I&#x27;m at work on OSX, so can&#x27;t download... but it&#x27;s unclear if this is free, open-source or commercial software... the marketing of this page&#x2F;site is pretty hard to tell, and hideous overall.<p>If it&#x27;s commercial the lack of any pricing or licensing information leads me to want to avoid at all costs... I&#x27;m assuming it&#x27;s a commercial product, and it&#x27;s completely not clear short of giving your email address to download.

C# has some advantages over JS but Xaml styles and templates are so much easier than CSS.<p>Around 2010 when I was a WPF dev moving back to web I looked so hard for a tool that would do this.<p>I&#x27;m guessing this renders as SVG but CSS (mainly flexbox) and tools have improved so much that it&#x27;s not needed so much now.<p>Still going to have a good look into it though.

I wish there getting started showed a little code sample instead of a giant horrible screenshot with text everywhere.

Unless I see monodevelop or sharpdevelop support, I gotta say this project seems quite silly to me.
