Just full time switched to Ubuntu with KDE.
I don't miss Windows 10 at all, but it's the best OS Microsoft has ever made.

If I ever have to go back to Windows, it's gonna be Windows 10.
It was such a smooth ride, everything works and everything is simple. Disabling useless dumb stuff from MS is easy enough.
Dunno, it just seems convenient.

But I fell in love with Linux and I can't go back :)
 
As far as i know, people hate Windows 10 just because of the following reasons.

1. Updates that too frequent
2. Prone to malware and viruses
3. Costlier
4. Poorly designed control panel
5. Internet Explorer. Oh wait! Edge browser, anyway people use it for downloading Chrome / Firefox.

Plus the fact there's two control panels, the one included in Windows 8 and a Metro-based one, makes no sense.

Speaking of which, Windows 10 is still pushing the mobile/tablet interface on desktop PCs, which is probably another reason.
 
Again, the old control panel is nearly gone and Settings has improved dramatically, especially with the Creators Update.
 
I haven't used Windows 10 outside of school for quite a while, so I wasn't able to know that. :3
Windows 10 is constantly changing, and you need to put that into account when you pass judgement. When the Fall Creator's Update comes out later this year it's going to look significantly different again - thanks to the introduction of transparency and a bunch of other effects.

Personally for me it boils down to three things:

1: I have the feeling that the OS constantly fights against me. If I disable some settings or change some variables they sometimes get enabled or change back again after an update
2: I can't get the UI to look how I would like it even with many tweaks
3: Most UI mods break after major updates which make it a pain

Yeah maybe I'm a bit too addicted to UI customization and modding :P
 
I still hate the fact the BSOD in Windows 10 looks so unprofessional. It's as if they're trying to condescend to the user or something in a way.
