The UI seemed really good, I was really tempted. But I was ultimately thrown off by App support in general. Wasn't there a thing, that Apps often weren't equal to their Android and iOS counterparts?

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella admits giving up on Windows Phone and mobile was a mistake
(www.theverge.com)
MS took too much time to respond to the iPhone and Android. By the time they had released the Windows phones, it was too late. Those phones were shit too.
I had one of them, a Nokia one. They we're not.
I used a Windows Phone way back in high school, I think it was an Xperia, the build quality was great and the performance was smoother than my friends' Androids and iPhones. Too bad there wasn't a lot of apps, that was the only down side though.
I really miss that UI, live tiles were so nice. there's launchers on android that mimic it, but it's not the same.
