This times a million. Any time i see someone with Windows 8, i ask if they want their start menu back. I don't know where all these people who can't stand Windows 8 are, luckily for me, none of them work here. Personally I think Classic shell is a crutch for those who don't want to try to learn something new.
For 8 I found Classic Shell a must-have, for 8.

This is not unwillingness to learn something new; it is unwillingness to use something that disrupts workflow and is counter-intuitive. It is interesting to me that the general consensus is that IT staff should keep up with new technologies and software as they come out so that they can support them and yet, if you opt for Classic Shell, how can you support Users who do not use Classic Shell in your environment?
