Recently purchased a new computer using UEFI and I'm in the planning stages of dual booting CrunchBang and antiX. Is the installer for antiX 13.2 Full UEFI compatible/aware?

antix 13 series uses grub-legacy, which will not work on uefi systems.

If you dop not plan to run win8, why use UEFI?

@coyotito: You don't have a choice. UEFI is the firmware on most new equipment. You can run UEFI in legacy mode/CSM, but you're still using UEFI as the firmware. I also want to learn to use UEFI without using legacy mode/CSM because eventually you'll have no choice, so you might as well learn it now.
