Looking to replace most of the Microsoft garbage with functional, native, good-looking apps.

Already using FluentWeather, FluentCast, Screenbox, Wino Mail, Unigram, AniMoe (Anilist client)...

Wanted Windows to ID Fluetro PDF as a PDF app, but for some reason that isn't happening...

Any other suggestions are also welcome...

I use the uwp on Xbox and I'm glad it exists but its a stale project at the moment.

Status update: The VLC for WinRT app is retired (deprecated), there is no more development being done on it. We advice you to use the classic VLC app instead. For UWP support in your LibVLC apps, have a look at libvlcsharp.
