I think they are still struggling to unify the modern style apps and the classic Windows programs, but this just seem like such an obvious thing to fix, and they've had plenty of time to fix it, it's been like that since Windows 8 was released. At least the start menu in Win10 is pretty good, a huge upgrade from Win8/8.1 and I like how customizable it is.
Yup, Windows 10 has been more stable for me than Windows 7. This is mostly to blame on my laptop drivers, because it was the early days of AMD switchable graphics and they hadn't perfected the technology yet, but I had to use very specific versions of the Intel and AMD drivers to not have my laptop BSoD every time on boot, and occasionally it would BSoD on boot anyway. That issue completely went away after upgrading to Win10. I've had some weird issues related to fullscreen in games though, especially with Project64, where some GPU plugins had issues with working in fullscreen (even had BSoDs as a result of a fullscreen issue with win32kfull.sys), but those issues went away on their own after a while, not sure if it was updates to the software that fixed said bugs, or a Windows update fixing it on a system wide level, but regardless I haven't had that issue in years now.
Which is weird to me. As Intel and Nvidia are lacking and share complacency in the market. Different topic tho.. :x

Why re-post what I said?:/Only reason to NOT use Windows 7 is compatibility with newer software/hardware, so unless you got something too new to work on it or have HoloLens/other Microsoft headset that requires Windows 10 you are fine with a 100% functional and VERY ergonomical OS that can do everything you could want and more, while it also looks very simple, intuitive, sleek and is pretty light with a very good degree of backwards compatibility (even if 16bit mode was disabled, but it's easier to re-enable on Windows 7 than any other OS).
On the other hand, Windows 10 is a buggy broken mess, with occassional "updates" that if anything break compatibility with software/hardware if not introducing additional bugs on top, all while being full of bloatware just because Microsoft seems to care more about knowing everything you do rather than having a properly functioning OS and it's not even that simple or ergonomical either, looking like a Frankenstein's monster of an OS, having both Aero and Metro, with UIs that are a clusterfuck and if you want to find even the simplest of things, only fast way to do it is to use the search function for EVERYTHING, especially with how enormous the start menu gets after installing bunch of things and whatnot! Sure, you can tweak the UIs very slightly, but it's still bad, while on Windows 7 even the default layouts are very nice.
PS: On the note of Vista you mentioned in the OP, the reason Vista got hate was only for the Vista Service Pack 1, because it was possibly one of the worst OSs ever made for a couple reasons. It introduced THOUSANDS of exploitable bugs hackers could abuse with hardly any work, broke compatibility for MOST important programs, even Microsoft's own Office Suit, causing it to either not work or repeatedly asked you to purchase extra licenses even if you had just bought one, was the OS that stopped compatibility for 16bit software meaning literally NO backwards compatibility under any circumstance as "XP Mode" wasn't a thing until Service Pack 2 and so so SO many other problems! Then Service Pack 2 was shat out with plenty issues on it's own, but at least it fixed a bucketload of SP1's problems. However, the whole "Vista" thing was bad PR so Microsoft pushed Windows 7 ahead of schedule to save their stocks and hopefully make people forget about it (nobody did
It's neither buggy, NOR a mess. Sounds like you need to clean up your system, and stop installing warez. Windows 10 is the most stable OS to ever come from Microsoft, and that includes Windows 7.
I curently use windows 10 ltdc, It is nice because ni metro crap, slow update ... A must have
I do when I can get it working properly, but I've had to resort to Rice Video to get smooth FPS sometimes.
Eww, Rice Video is just...breaks a lot of games, esp. Konami games. Only useful for texture mods really. GlideN64 is way more accurate.
Banjo Tooie is a particularly hard game to run if you want to use the 60FPS mod. Rice Video actually runs blazing fast compared to any other plugin and seems to work well for Tooie. Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon is another game that's hard to run, the skybox emulation slows everything down, so I had to use Rice Video for that one as well, although it still suffers from some glitches as that game is difficult to emulate properly. GlideN64 is nice but it's bloated, and even though my laptop was a top of the line gaming laptop like 5 or 6 years ago when I got it, and still runs most new games fine, it can struggle with GlideN64.
