Based on my experience with the Surface RT/2 where only Modern UI apps are available, here are just the "heavy hitters" that are missing for me...
Surface RT 1 & 2 indeed fail as tablets. What good is the desktop, if you can't install any desktop apps?
On Surface Pro, the desktop sometimes is a bit annoying, when using none-touch-optimized software without a mouse. But at least in general you can solve every task. On Surface RT, you're often lost without any alternatives.
It's a pity. The look, touch and feel of Surface RT are great - if you're options wouldn't be that limited...
