> How do you classify "native" vs "non-native" UI?

Not OP, but presumably WPF can be considered non-native because it relies upon the .Net stack.

Not just .net (I think it's all c underneath), I'd consider winforms with c# to be a native UI (but not native code) because it's just a .net wrapper around win32.

Is UWP UI "native"?

Yes, although the windows desktop situation is such a clusterfuck that I could make a case that it's not ;) It all depends on if you consider the full desktop or the metro interface to be the native one.
