Absolutely Not.
2024-2025 will be a good guess. Why ? See microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#1500 (comment) and then microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#6791 (comment) |

WinUI is capable of drawing anything on the screen, so essentially any program can be created - except for those requiring some of the Windows API surface that isn't available yet. Productboard The question is how much time and willpower you want to exert making something. Case in point, anyone could create a datagrid (in C++, there are several C# versions available 1, 2, 3). Don't forget that Office was already recreated once using UWP (including Excel) - it didn't do everything the original could, but that isn't something that more time and money wouldn't solve... |

Do you think, WinUI3 is ready to support a product like Office? ... or do you think it will take some time (2023? 2024?) until we should think about using it in such a project?
