The author claims they created a great Forms UWP app which is deeply suspect. Also, Uno don’t really address anything but the performance issues of Xamarin on Android in the list of things Forms is bad at, so beware.
Argument about UI is also suspect. Forms gives a lot of customization control, and with the new material visual you can get a good cross-platform material design. Personally, I think Material is ugly, but it isn’t exactly uncommon these days.
At this point I also hate Xamarin.Forms, but I like Uno even less, mainly because it is built off the absolute abomination that is UWP. (Heads up: it renders paths/SVGs even worse than WPF). If you are a .NET developer, you do not want to explore the mess of buggy controls, COM threading issues and old Silverlight help pages that is UWP. Yes, when you sign up for UWP, you are signing up for an immature wrapper over COM.
