Everyone to their own taste. The options have always been almost infinite. I know, over past discussions, that Drew has been an advocate of the use of the taskbar and associated Toolbars. The latter had uses in Windows 8, where there was no Start menu. I have always used the "Metro" Screen as my start menu, and it has now grown on me. There is even at least one member on this forum, in spite of having the Metro start window one click away, has chosen to place all the shortcuts on the desktop! Thank god for individualism!
