Everyone seems to harp on the negatives and none of the positive changes. The People hub looks better (I'm not crazy that it seems to open the FB app when you click on something, but you don't necessarily have to click on something cause the pictures are now big and visible from the hub). The pictures hub seems better to me. Yeah, I miss the panorama a little, but how much time do people actually spend swiping left/right on the panorama???? First thing I generally hit is camera roll or albums, which takes you to a picture list anyway.
What about the swipe keyboard?
Parallax start background? (use a solid color if you don't like it and get over it)
Cortana? She works for me. Maybe most of the complaints are due to a particular region and will be fixed over time?
Games listed in app list? I'm not crazy about this one either, but it doesn't bother me. When I go to the app list, I'm generally hitting a letter and jumping where I need to be, so extra apps in the list aren't a big deal.
There is room for improvement, but it's certainly not the end of the world.
Oh, and from the wiki, "Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life, published on September 8, 1998, is a motivational book by Spencer Johnson written in the style of a parable or business fable. The text describes change in one's work and life, and four typical reactions to said change by two mice and two "littlepeople", during their hunt for cheese.
