You can say that W10 was built for "dummies" but I rather think of it that they built it for the average home user (for the home edition). Sure there are things missing from my Home edition of W7 that I did use every now and then, but I'll get over it eventually. My personal preference is that you don't take away, you add which is not the case with W10 in some areas.
I think Power Users are more likely to have a dislike for it since many of these functions that people talk about I haven't looked at in ages if ever and I've been using computers of one sort or another since about 1983-84 so I've dug in well into most OS but am now more of the average home user that uses the computer for general type stuff. Documents, gaming, internet, work documents, keeping track of apointments etc. I think for that, Microsoft has done a decent job (other than Edge, the bare bones browser and not ready for primetime) for the average home user. But even though I don't dislike it, I'm not in love with it either. If it gave me more choices to change it's appearance without having to pay a 3rd party to put a skin on it, I'd probably be happier with it.
When I first booted it, I sort of liked it's broody look but the more I looked at it, I thought this is just depressing, it could really do with some sort of built in theme that will let me make it feel more cheerful.
But yeah, overall, not hating it, but not loving it either but it is doing what I need it to do, allow me to run programs on my computer and I was able to upgrade and not lose any data and it seems to have fully upgraded. Other than a problem of the Nvidia drivers not being able to install over the W7 drivers that were installed but not telling me when I tried to update my drivers but that was only a momentary thing to figure out what was going on and not sure that I'd put blame on Redmond for that.
