Modern UI isn't ready - that's why so many people hate it. How do you make desktop better? It is already perfect. But development must go on - there is a need to make something new that people would buy.

So, you start a new thing and add continuously "new features" that are simple and elementary as hell. Years of safe development of elementary features that may simply be included in the first version of software - but they aren't. In Windows 8.1 you don't need to stick with static background colors. Wow, what an update and development achievement. Couldn't foresee that user would like that.

I think that Modern UI becomes more and more user-friendly but it takes time because you simply cannot make final product with first version because then the next versions wouldn't shine.
