UWP are an interesting example. They are the most 'native' (at least looking) kind of application on windows 10 but I realize they aren't using win32 (which I think is what we both mean when we refer to native). Regardless, UWP are terrible; they are very hard to use and look awful, if not flat and uncluttered.
Office is a bad example as well; that team is notorious for choosing new/different interface controls just to be different. They try to back it up with studies but the studies are flawed. Accordion and Ribbon come to mind, as does the silly fake shadow they had a few years ago.
Still to this day, the drab boring win32 applications are the best performing and easiest to use.

All the old control panel apps that UWP/Metro settings app still rely on for a lot of their settings still work better than the pc settings app. All the light-weight notepad clones are great, my fave is notepad3.
