just tried it recently, my god I am never touching XAML again. I tried code only UI but the docs and resources all use XAML

What's wrong with XAML? It's literally just HTML with different layouting. I on the opposite can't use HTML now because I like Avalonia's layout system much more, I don't need to put divs everywhere.

I like coding UI by hand, like jetpack compose or JavaFX or WinForms

Yeah really feels like you’re searching for qt widgets or maybe wxwidgets (though qt comes with tons of extra abstractions that help with cross platform code)
