The Metro interface was clearly designed for use with a touchscreen, on which it works extremely well (I have a Surface Pro and like it a lot on that), but it's a pain to use with a mouse, I agree.

The good news with Win 8.1 is that you never see it if you don't want to. You can configure the system to boot straight into the desktop, and to have the old "Start" menu.
