Yep, Thanks Martin for your time on that. You have confirmed a lot of my
experiences, and perhaps that I'm not mad. So far I have written all my WPF
alone without the help of a team to build comprehensive helper libraries of
base classes and utilities. I certainly do find myself copying and pasting
snippets out of other apps a lot. I also try to separate all the styling
XAML from the controls. I have been very unhappy with MVVM as it seems to
stretch the capabilities of binding beyond the breaking point as an academic
exercise and leads to bizarre quirks and workarounds. I have settled on a
simple View-Controller pattern which keeps the code behind quite thin and
allows unit testing of the controllers.

 

I am back to coding WPF today and I will be editing more XAML by hand.
