I briefly looked into UWP when it was being promoted with such fanfare, and the only thing I could see were the gross incompatibilities with WPF, basically requiring you to maintain two guis if you wanted to use the app store and support two versions of Windows, let alone Xamarin. Then they basically dumped the app store model they were going to use and started allowing anything on there. It's https://xkcd.com/927/ all over again, except in this case it's all just Microsoft!

I looked at UWP when it came out. The only thing I found was that it was different but I didn’t see any improvements over WPF. I still don’t understand why they wouldn’t make it compatible with WPF.
