Funnily enough, I also develop WPF apps for W10 - and being part of the team that technically evaluates MS platforms out in the wild, there are still things you can do in WPF that just aren't technically possible in UWP. For instance, we have apps that tear out into multiple windows to go across multiple monitors - this just doesn't work in UWP. Oh, and it's a lot easier to deploy a WPF application. From a pure coding side, there are still areas of developing XAML apps that just don't map back to the fuller feature set you get from WPF - custom MarkupExtension classes, for instance.

Plus, for me, being able to deploy to more clients is a huge win. With WPF I can target both W8/8.1 and 10, as well as Windows 7. UWP apps - well, that would be cutting off the people who matter the most - clients. Don't get me wrong, there are features I would love to see make the journey from UWP back to WPF, x:Bind, but that doesn't sell it as a platform to me. While UWP is still feature deficient, I'm not putting any eggs in that basket.
