... for some definition of "easiest." Maybe I would agree if you don't need to support a custom look-and-feel (Win32-looking apps don't really fly anymore), responsive layout, high DPI, touch/pen input, system theme colors, accessibility, localization, and haven't learned XAML.
WPF and UWP apps are both far easier.
- jimmaswell 11y agoWin32 is the style that Windows apps are supposed to be and what people expect in a Windows app. What are you talking about? In what way does the win32 look "not fly"? I've tried to use WPF and it was just a major pain and felt like a mess. There is no impediment to "responsiveness". Where did you get the idea winforms apps don't follow the system colors?

None of the built-in apps in Windows 10 look like Win32 apps, apart from legacy stuff that hasn't been ported yet and now looks sorely out of place. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn894631.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396 https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn894631.aspx?f=255... Much of the Windows shell isn't even written in Win32 anymore, it's all UWP (source: I work on the start menu).
