its amazing how much Microsoft is trying to push UWP development and yet no one seems to want to make any apps for it. I'd love it if there was a similar toolkit for Android.

I spent ten minutes trying to make a demo app for it before discovering a limitation imposed by using the stripped down .net framework.

Until they break the sandbox it will continue to be irrelevant.

My guess is it will be a long hard road until they realize that UWP apps will be behind until it is easy to port them to other platforms.

Right now all you get with UWP is support for a popular but declining desktop platform, a limited living room gaming platform and a practically dead mobile platform.
