It depends on many factors...
What do you want to do?

i'm just trying to find that which tool is better to make a good , intractive , responsive interface for desktop applications.

The answer is still the same: it depends...

okay.. but depends upon what factors? please elaborate. i'm new to form actually

It depends on many factors, for example: what your application should do? You need to define your needs. You want to create "intractive , responsive interface", but you need to know that it's too vague to answer ir directly.

where to use windows forms -- on Windows systems
when to use -- days that end in "y"
why to use -- they're awesome!
what are their advantages -- not so much advantages as lack of disadvantages

This is neither a correct question nor a productive issue for the discussion. People use one or another library or technology not because of "any special reason". And the experience of those who have such "special reason" may or may not be applicable to others. This is a talk about nothing.

Please, read my comment to the question.

The discussion about advantages and disadvantages of WinForms is possible in comparison to an the other UI controls...
In a meanwhile, i'd suggest to use SearchBox[^]. There you'll find many, many answers to simila questions.
