> non-electron Windows (UWP)

Oh? I thought it was Qt. I don't want to seem like I'm complaining for nothing as it's definitely much better than, say, Slack client, but I still feel like the Windows client is a bit "out of place". Like the task bar context menu looks different from all the other menus for other apps in there, with rounded corners etc.

I'm not sure that Slack is a proper term of comparison for Telegram. A closer competitor would probably be WhatsApp, and Telegram Desktop easily beats the "desktop" version of WhatsApp on every single aspect. The only reason I'm still using WhatsApp is due to the fact that that's what all the people I know use.
It's Qt. GP might have mixed it up with Unigram client[0], which is UWP.
