>Have been reading some posts from 2014 and there was some back and forth on Winforms vs. WPF. At the time, it seemed like Winforms were not being updated past .Net 3.0 but that the general feedback was that it was easier to work with for a newbie vs. WPF.

Winforms is certainly easier, it is like VFP forms (enhanced). However, yes, outdated (set blame on).

This one certainly doesn't give any idea about how rich content you could create using WPF, but anyways not a bad one if you think I did that in less than 4 minutes and no code written manually (except changing 2 "False" to "True"):

You can at least think about doing the same thing in VFP wouldn't take too much less.
