The problem is with Metro apps, not the start screen. The full screen start menu is, in my opinion and the opinion of everyone I've spoken with, better than the old start menu. For the beginner user, they have a nice big visual screen with the name and icon of all the programs they use. For the advanced user, they are going to type the name of the program or setting they want - and this works better in Win 8 than Win 7. The big problems only start when you click into a Metro app, like News, but I don't think many people are doing that anyway - they are just clicking either "Desktop", "Chrome" or "Word/Excel/Outlook".
