Visual Studio itself is a WPF app, for what it's worth. I can't imagine Visual Studio being rewritten as a "Modern" app any time soon. So, it makes sense that MS will continue to invest in WPF.

Parts of VS may have a WPF UI, but I can assure you the vast majority of the codebase is C++.
When no dialogs are open, the overwhelming majority of the UI is WPF now though, to my knowledge. I remember running debug builds of 2010 that showed paint rectangles and there was basically nothing that wasn't WPF even in that first WPF version.
