No, it's not people complaining about something new and scary. It's the fact that the Metro user experience is fundamentally flawed given what we've seen in the preview releases. The design is bad. It's not a matter of adding new features, but scrapping the entire paradigm. Using it on a daily basis (with a mouse and keyboard), you can't help wondering to yourself, what were they smoking? As a designer, metro feels like it was designed by bullet points. That there was this company-wide edict to make things Metro and here are the rules, with total disregard to common sense and good intuitive design. MS is not alone in this. Latest Apple software seem to throw out good design sense in favour of sticking to a company-wide mandate to make things skeuomorphic, even if the resulting user experience is a clusterfuck of complexity.
