Windows Phone had a good use interface, many people (including me) prefer it to the horror that is Android UI. Lack of an app ecosystem was probably Windows Phone's biggest problem. I think a possible solution to that for Purism (I was an early backer of this campaign) is to focus on web apps. I know I'm not alone in being thoroughly sick of everything about apps and app stores.

The one common link between Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows Phone was that hideous and universally rejected tile interface abomination. It was so vile and user hostile that Microsoft had to eventually hide it behind a button in Windows 10.
