Windows 8.1 Speed
I do not like learning a new system and find 8.1 to be counterintuitive at times. However, it is incredibly fast compared to my Windows 7 or XP machines. Freaky fast in fact. I wonder why Microsoft...

... I found this very helpful comparison between Start8 and Classic Shell: Comparison
That's a good comparison but I disagree with the first line of that article, power users don't miss the Start Menu in Win 8 as there are many alternative ways to access your programs. It's non power users that seem to be completely lost without a Start Menu.
My sister (not a power user) recently got a new laptop that came with Win 8.1. I told her to stick with the desktop and to install Classic Shell. She hasn't had any problems using it that way but would have struggled otherwise.
