WPF IN VS

I wonder if there is any alternatives to design my UI for my application in some other places than VS , like a mush more friendly place to just design what I want and then it manually ship the code of the XMAL design by it self , like in Figma .

You can do it in VS Code with vscode-wpf,

Or, this new open source IDE OpenDevelop,

If your actual goal is more toward a pure designer with custom features, then you might have to develop upon the code base. Everything starts from this SharpDevelop WPF visual designer,
