After trying out Windows 8 consumer preview for a couple of weeks, I have absolutely no desire to ever use a tablet that has the metro UI/UX. It is wretched.

I'm sure there are some people out there that like it... If you are one of these people, I'd really like to hear your opinion of it. I have a really hard time organizing everything. It always looks cluttered to me. If I did not discovered the feature where you can press the Windows key and start typing to search for applications, I would have reinstalled Windows 7 a long time ago.

If anyone has any tips and/or tweaks that improve the experience, please tell!

Your argument doesn't make sense. It is a touch focused UI and you have to atleast try it out with touch input and then comment. Yeah it might not be good for traditional mouse and keyboard input, but using that as an argument that you don't want it on a tablet is not right.

So you're saying that it would be less cluttered with touch input rather than a mouse and keyboard? I guess that makes sense... ;)

I did't say anything about it not working well with a mouse and keyboard. I said I had a hard time organizing things after I installed a lot of applications and widgets. I feel like no matter how much time I spend coloring panes and organizing them, the interface still slows me down. That's why I like using the Windows key and then typing in the application name.

I guess I just need to accept that the Metro UI is not for me, even though I wanted and tried really hard to like it.

Hah! This video(From 2m52s to 3m24s) demonstrates my experience with the Metro UI perfectly:

The funny thing is, the pane for Visual Studio is the first one in the second column.
