I disagree with the whole premise. At the moment I have an app running in a sidebar (weather, showing me the current weather and 10-day forecast) and am typing away at this message with the rest of my 1920x1080 screen.

Also, when I want to single-task, I can use the app (e.g., Netflix app vs. Netflix in a browser window).

The thing is I've lost none of what I had with 7, and I get this additional capability. If I'm doing ordinary desktop stuff, I do. Nothing's changed (except this glorious start button everyone rants about, which is more than accomplished by the 'search' item on the right side now).

Lastly, if I really was enthralled by the tree structure of my old Start menu, I could preserve it, then pin it to my start screen. Voila, my start menu is back on my start screen. It's just a directory tree full of links, after all.
