Microsoft-ui-xaml: Proposal: Support WinUI in VSIX
Proposal: Support WinUI in VSIX
Summary
Use WinUI to build Visual Studio extensions with a new, modern look.
Rationale
Scope
Important Notes
Open Questions
One of the drawbacks to this proposal is that extensions will be able to look off compared with the current Visual Studio design, but I think believe that to be up to the developer of the extension.

I wonder if Visual Studio itself can be rewritten in WinUI. It should be a big project.

@Austin-Lamb @marb2000 Is it possible to host WinUI3 inside an extension for Visual Studio (given that Visual Studio is WPF)

@ranjeshj - I don't know what VS extensibility supports, but I believe that at least some parts of the extensibility story rely on WPF (at least, some extensibility interfaces begin with "IWpf."
Recommend we move this ticket to the Visual Studio team's feedback system.
