Compare Windows 7 and Windows 8 for a clearer understanding.
You understand the situation right away. Everyone is used to the old layout and its features. They appreciate how it worked before. Microsoft managed to eliminate many of those functions, swapping them with less useful elements like decorative icons, outdated applications, and odd menu structures. It took them more than a year to fix core tasks such as powering off the system or launching directly to the desktop. They haven’t restored the start menu either. In the end, what you do first after setting up Windows 8 is turn off the charms, add a start menu, enable booting to desktop, and just move forward without revisiting the old ways. That’s essentially how it works.
I only power on my computer once daily, so launching to the desktop isn't too much of an issue. I mainly use the Start menu for searches, and I prefer the mouse positioned on the right side of the screen in Windows 8, which means I don't need that feature.
