The UI seemed really good, I was really tempted. But I was ultimately thrown off by App support in general. Wasn't there a thing, that Apps often weren't equal to their Android and iOS counterparts?

I had a Windows phone for years and loved it. But I'm glad it went the way of the dinosaur because it forced me to get a pixel which is even better.

I really miss that UI, live tiles were so nice. there's launchers on android that mimic it, but it's not the same.

No it wasn’t. MS was well behind at the time, and the market had settled on Google and Apple as the two mobile OS providers. The mistake would have been to keep going.
