I was the same, however I did for a short period try a pre-release edition of 8.0.
Long story short, you've skipped Windows 8(.0) and therefore skipped over most of the problems people are complaining about. 8.1 has already fixed a lot of the issues in 8.0, including the lack of a start button, no programs menu, and the inability to boot to desktop. Those three features you rely on were only added in 8.1 in response to complaints about 8.
The fact that you don't see what people are complaining about is solely the result of Microsoft fixing things in direct response to that complaining.
