I've been using Windows 8 (haven't upgraded to 8.1 yet) since basically day 1 and think it's great. I don't use any tile apps though and honestly never use or see that side of the UI. I have a desktop computer, so I stick to the desktop paradigm.
I don't need any "fixes" to interact with the UI. It works basically just like Windows 7, with a few minor tweaks (like Win+X). What doesn't work with right-click? As far as I can see it does the same thing as it did in Windows 7
I'll give you the right bar thing, but a) I hear it's fixed in 8.1 and b) the only thing there I use there is the shut down menu.
Now maybe the touch interface is as horrible as everybody claims, but as a desktop OS it works great
