Anyway, it's clear for me that the age of native controls is history. Today interfaces are described in markup languages, the OS is responsible to render it, there is a clear separation between the user interface and the code behind.
Markup is just a frontend, it can work with anything. In fact, history only returned to where it started: UI was described in DSL since early versions of Windows (resources), you couldn't waste RAM on UI-building code, instead OS was instructed to read dialog resource and build the window for you, the resource was discarded right away, every byte was counted.
