I still think that Microsoft are trying to force the UWP on everyone without fully addressing everything. There are a use cases that appear on desktop systems that are unique to desktop systems, and the UWP still doesn't adequately deal with these.Little examples of this are how I often set up Visual Studio. The little tool windows, such as Solution Explorer, are often unpinned and then placed on a second monitor.
