"Many users don't like it, vendors don't like it, and developers don't like it."

I would love to know how he came to the conclusion that developers don't like it. I'm building a Metro app in JS with VS 2012 and couldn't be happier. What is there to complain about when the preview OS, the SDK and the IDE are free? The level of documentation already available (incl. the sample projects) is also impressive.

I'm a developer and I don't like it. It's like a house that makes you go through the bathroom to get to the living room, that has the light switches hidden, and one room is decorated by IKEA while another is stuck in the seventies. Sure the AC is better and the beds are comfy, but there are so many oddities that while I could live in it, I wouldn't like it.

I second that. I am developing a Metro app using JS and I really like it. Visual Studio is a really nice IDE. And, the tools and documentation are solid as well. I honestly think the author of this article just makes stuff up to try to prove his point.
