WPF is much closer to web development than the drag and drop WYSIWYG UI development (VB6 / WinForms) the OP was taking about. I've never done UWP but it sounds nearly the same as WPF.
WPF/UWP have exactly the same drag and drop WYSIWYG support as Windows Forms, specially when using Blend, actual components and an healthy market of companies selling them.
