This extension is a gamechanger, everyone working with xaml should use it.

Pro tip: With this extension installed, formatting also happens automatically on Ctrl+S

Hey James, quick question. I was looking for a way to add transparent blurred backgrounds to MAUI, but I couldn't figure it out. Any advice on how to get the glass effect done?

James, question... In a C# Maui app, if I bring in the Maui.skiasharp packages from nugget, then add skcanvasview in the xaml, it by itself displays and events fire. If I enclose skcanvasview within a <grid> or any other layout control, everything breaks. Could you clue me in here? Thanks

I honestly don't like xaml or anything XML related. I hated XML files on Android and today you can use code in a very easy and intuitive way on Android studio infact that's the preferred way to create UIs. Is there anything similar in visual studio? Are there plans to drop xaml for good?
