This calculator is not written using Win32.

(Why the downvotes?)

I didn't downvote you, but it comes across like you were trying to nitpick someone by pointing out a detail that isn't relevant to what they were saying.
One of my pet peeves when engaging in technical discussions!
In this case I think it's valid because the old calculator from windows 8 and below (before the app version) is sometimes called win32calc.
It's still useful for comparing the C++ parts. Could even be useful for learning how modern UWP XAML compares to classic Win32 approaches in C++.
I guess people downvoting you think it's obvious.
