> Its goal is to make building a native app as easy as building with Electron.

1. Building with Electron is not easy 2. Building native apps is easy (at least was the last time I checked on Windows some decades ago, I guess it's not harder now)



Depends on where you come from. If you're already accustomed to the web stack you'll love Electron. If you come from a .NET background or something similar, you'll prefer native.


It's the easiest way to get all platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux) if you're already comfortable with web dev.


Where do I start if I want to build a native app for Windows, in terms of language, frameworks and UI kits?


Download the Universal app SDK package in Visual Studio 2019(on windows 10 post anniversary update only afaik) and you're off. Language can be c# or js,framework is .net framework and UI is modernized XAML or html/cordova

however the js/html/cordova support is a second class citizen and you'll have an easier time just using c#/XAML
