The Start Button wasn't a big issue to me, as I long ago moved to a keyboard-centric workflow -- using the Windows key, typing a few letters of whatever I wanted to open and hit ENTER. The big problem here is that this no longer works in Windows 8. Now you hit the Windows key, type a few letters of whatever you want to open and you have to arrow or tab a few times to get to the actual item you cared about. For those complaining about the cumbersomeness of getting to system settings, I agree. That's why I urge users to learning about the Windows key+x keyboard shortcut.
