Not only .NET, I am really pissed how C++/CX got replaced with C++/WinRT, without any effort to provide tooling with similar capabilities.
So instead of a C++ with C# like tooling for doing UWP stuff, now one gets to edit IDL files without any kind of support (you could be using Notepad for what they care), and then you have to manually copy/merge C++ files after being generated.
And on the .NET side .NET Native was looking to be how version 1.0 should have been all along, and now has an uncertain future.
Finally with Reunion, when going regularly on their issues, it seems to be turning into a major reboot, porting what they can into Windows 7 like stack, leave UWP as an improved COM runtime, and pretend that everything else post Windows 8 outside Win32 never happened.
