   WinRT is too restrictive to be a great platform for most local development applications. There may be some remote development applications where WinRT is successful and you can write a simple text editor, but something like SciTE does not appear to be possible. The OS X sandbox is also limiting but it does, for example, allow running subprocesses which is not possible with WinRT.

   WinRT may be extended in the future to be a better match for IDEs but, for now, the desktop will suit most applications better.

   Other people may have product ideas that fit within WinRT and they can continue improving MetroSci but, for me, the platform is just too limited.
