I use the start screen as a live desktop. I have the calendar, mail, and weather app open where I can see them, thus being pretty constantly aware of what's on my agenda and how many new e-mails I have in the inbox. And use the start screen to launch my most frequent commands -- control panel, word and onenote, news republic, pirates <3 daisies, etc.
The only apps I launch from the desktop are the power/battery options, IE10 Desktop, and W8 file collector.
For most other apps I usually flick open the charms bar, select search, and then type the name of the app and touch to launch it.
