Alternative to winforms that can be easily used with C# and .NET

Question

I am tired of flickering of GUI and every possible control, milions of articles about double-buffering, ControlStyle flags and so on that don't even work; look at this examples:

How to prevent a Windows Forms TextBox from flickering on resize?

After reading this question, other on SO, and many articles on the web i think there are 2 options, write own controls, or use alternative to the winforms. So my question is: what are good alternatives that can be easily used with C# and .NET on Windows, and maybe even on Linux and Mac (but this is not necessary)? However if i missing something with all that windows mess, i will be glad if you correct me.

One important thing, altough flickering and other problems are annoying, they not prevent job getting done, so alternatives priority is to be fully functional, otherwise, it's better to stick with ancient winforms.
