But that's a failure of the split-experience, not metro itself.

Sure, but they can't drop support for everything built over the past couple of decades just to have a new interface, so it is the fault of introducing Metro into Windows 8. To get around the problem, they could've had plenty of integration from the start - having the taskbar throughout Metro would be a brilliant start, and something familiar.
Luckily, they're integrating Metro into the desktop properly now, so the entire system will be usable.
