People bitched about the new start menu because they weren't willing to see that there were better ways to find their programs.
I really hate seeing this "blame the victim" mentality.
People here on Hackers News might be prepared to seek and deploy alternative start menus, but for many, perhaps most, non-technical users, it's a difficult and scary prospect.

It may be better, for all I know. But starting with Windows 8, I just totally stopped using it, so I can't weigh in on that. Windows also comes with a tutorial at the beginning that explains the new UI.
