Happy to follow up if you can share specifics. Are you asking about XAML differences between WPF and UWP, or something else?
The best way to raise gaps in UWP and keep in touch on the progress is to log them and/or vote & comment on them at https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/110705-universal-windows-platform
