I don't have much to add, except that WinForms was an absolute dream to work with. I was literally illiterate in any kind of programming and I was able to build stupid little apps that actually did things.
I remember writing one utility that would turn off the monitor with a global key shortcut. It had a little window with just one button, and would minimize to tray.
I was able to build it just by downloading the free version of Visual Studio and reading the docs. The extent of my programming knowledge at that time was doing some silly LOGO stuff in school.

Same story with Adobe Flash.
