When bad management meets bad software, even great hardware is useless

    Yeah, I agree.

    The main incentive twirled around UWP mentality, “Write one app that works on Windows, WP and Xbox automagically”.

    I think it was a fucking-a-star idea that could gather fresh developers to a big potential userbase. And surprisingly, it worked for a time as well.

    But MS again cold-feeted the platform themselves in a short span and scared everyone.

    I actually witnessed many brilliant developers wrote their very first C# code with UWP, only to spin out to other platforms later as WinPhone’s apparent neglect. PocketCasts and Flipboard are two that went very successful on other platforms.

      Not to mention that MS completely changed their development tools and libraries more than once if I remember properly.
