It's a step backward, back on the same level as Windows 3.11 if you ask me!
Almost no control, no flexibility, runs slow on those slower tablet processors, is too large in size for an OS; and most of the time, the OS is not even able to do what you want to do, and if it does it, it won't do it very well, nor very fast!

I have used and worked on DOS and Windows based PCs. I think Windows 8 is fast. Boots up on my old Pentium 4 PC in less than 30 seconds. IE10 is a vast improvement over IE9. I hardly use IE9 opting for Google Chrome instead. For the average PC owner Windows 8 simplifies the use of their PC. The Metro interface kind of grows on you once you use it.
I'm not sure what you mean by lack of control because everything is there and very accessible. If you press the Windows key + X you can go under the hood of Windows 8. For those missing the old desktop, it's there. Missing the Start Menu, download Start8 by Stardock.
