   The key question is what to do about Cordova Windows plug-ins. If you don’t need that, but still want WinJS access to the Universal Runtime API’s, then Microsoft provides tooling. Unfortunately, it also relies on Edge which is now deprecated. However Microsoft is pushing people towards W3C PWA’s, likely paving the way for their eventual replacement for Edge.
   
   To keep Cordova idiomatic on Windows, and allow .NET interop, I would argue option #2 (Full-screen WebView) would be worth pursuing first-if the desire is towards near-term continuity. Option #1 has strong personal appeal to it for me, but it also represents a pretty big re-tool. Option #2 would represent a more incremental change.
   
   That said, it only makes sense if Microsoft will maintain WebView compatibility with its future engine. Really, it’s hard to bet on any future Microsoft roadmap given how unceremoniously it ended `wwahost` apps and the demise of Edge. Their long-term outlook towards JavaScript in UWP, and hybrid Windows apps at this point seems dim.
