• Avalonia
• Uno

They are more like WPF than WinForms because they both use XAML as the design markup language.

The goal for MAUI, along with targeting Android and iOS, is to be able to target Windows desktop and macOS by utilizing WinUI 3 and MacCatalyst, respectively. There should be more detail in this post: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/what-is-maui

Unlike other solutions like Uno Platform that also target Linux (as a Skia backend) and browsers (using WebAssembly), you can utilize MAUI and Blazor to target browsers. Not sure if there is a solution in the works to target Linux at all for MAUI.
