  Having to switch visual interfaces to get to programs inherently makes the start screen approach vastly inferior for anyone doing work on Windows 8. If I'm in the middle of coding, why in the world should I have to switch visual interfaces, from desktop to start screen, just to gain access to the programs list on my system? That's a very bad design decision by Microsoft. If I'm just using it for playing games or watching Netflix, sure, then who cares much. Microsoft intentionally forced their start screen apps vision onto everybody to spur adoption of their lagging apps / mobile ecosystem. So Windows 8 by default punishes their power users, because of mistakes Microsoft made years ago, when a few simple options would alleviate all of that by giving power users more choice in customization.
