Win32 is one of the few UI paradigms that it makes sense to invest in. It will never die, and you will get exposed to a whole slate of historical patterns that all the new stuff is based on or built in reaction to.

It will never die but you might not find anyone interested in it. We are shifting to a Marketplace app era and I think that you cannot create a marketplace app with Win32 (I might be wrong here).

Even if you could create a Marketplace app with Win32 api it would be a nightmare to create a responsive UI to support multiple monitor sizes.

I have worked really hard to create responsive UI with Win32 and the result was barely acceptable but with UPF or HTML it's such an easy task, it all come out natural
