Windows 10 is an improvement over 8. I'll admit I hated Windows 8 until i downloaded the 3rd party start menu. I avoided downloading more classical things because the start menu was the priority. Still, there're a lot of issues it has, last I tried it. I've used it a fair amount. The main thing was how Metro merges with everything else. It was clumsy. And if you're not familiar with Apps (like on mobiles or tablets) it can be very confusing. For example, the first couple times Apps executed, I didin't know how to close them. I had to experiment for a while before I figured out to click the top part and move it to the bottom of the screen. And of course I hated Apps--so damn confusing; no traditional menus and so many stupid unfamiliar icons.
But honestly if I got a new system I'd absolutely get Windows 10 or Windows 8.1 (if it was on sale or something?). Even if there're some things I don't like, I can probably find downloads for that. I do have concerns the mobile market is making it hard for a keyboard/mouse user like myself, but it's far from game over. There're usually options.
The real battle is between power users and everyday users. I think Windows 10 is much closer to a balance.

What apps do you really need to use that you cant just download the actual program for? Only switched to 8.1 about 2 months ago and just installed everything like normal after getting the start menu shell. Feels just like 7 to me now after going through some setting changes. i dont even ever see the metro screen. Only annoying part of 8 is not being able to remove the logging in with password everything you boot up the PC.
