UWP is definitely overkill if you go through the trouble of writing all the MVVM bindings as I mentioned. But, for really quick things, I can type XAML faster than I can try to align gui elements with a mouse. Then you get the same code-behind file to do your heavy lifting. The WYSIWYG editor is far worse though, I pretty much would only use it for a preview and only touch the layout via the XAML.
