UWP is the same old approach to write "universal app" one time (like Java). But unlike Java, UWP tries to make the same UI for everything - it's apriori mistake, since interaction with smartphone/tablet/desktop/projector is very different. 10 years past, but we still have no any affordable "touch table"!
I prefer to wait until corpse of Nadella move by the river and some professionals come and implement proper _strictly_mobile_ platform parallel to strictly desktop.

I don't know what kinds of apps you work on, but if you're making something to run on Windows then going forward a UWP is generally a good idea. As long as you're not stopped by some technological reason then I really have to ask why not? Microsoft has some pretty good development tools in Visual Studio for creating those apps and with them you can still make the app run on Desktop/Laptop/Tablet/Phone/Etc with support for handling the different screen sizes.
I like telling people to at least look into it from a cross-platform perspective. If you're using the same backing logic but different UI code, or similar UI code, then the next logical step is to look into using the Xamarin tools. Yes, those tools looks expensive, but now you're saving money by not hiring more people to work on separate apps. It's all one team working on one app with one set of tools.
I feel like I should say that I do work for Microsoft, but these are my own thoughts and my work in the customer support area does not does not include anything related to this. I just play with this for fun on my own time.

Sitting staring out at the waves and one blond say to the other; "I've slept with a Brazilian".
And the other one says OMG how many is a Brazilian?

Was over at my parents tonight, parked the car out front on the side of the road.
Some idiot bumped into my mirror, that didn't end well...
Just found out on my way home.
I wonder what that's going to cost me...

|
|
|
A roll of duct tape, a stick and a small mirror.

The lease company isn't going to like that... (Neither is the police for that matter).
I hope their insurance covers it, but of course I can't prove I didn't do it.
And I've got my own risk.
