Yes, I know, Start8 and others add the Start Button and say it replaces the need for the Start Screen. Actually it replaces the All Apps Screen allowing the XP/Vista/Win7 hierarchical access to pretty much everything installed on the computer.
The Start Screen is really nice if you have a 7-inch tablet. Its a lot of nice colors on a 24-inch monitor with a small selection of programs you can start. The convenience of the Start Screen is you can select which programs/tiles you would like displayed. At the very least it would be nice if one could chose 9 (maybe even 10) rows of tiles (7 is the max now). What would be even nicer would be smaller tiles much like the All Apps Screen.
