I've been using IBM-Compatible systems with Windows since 1993 and have only used the Start Menu a couple times to load Character Map. To those that must have it though, I can't understand what's so difficult about pressing the windows key if you want to access your start menu, which is now an entire customized screen. The only problem I've had since upgrading to windows 8, and 8.1 is that it takes several times to get the task manager to stay open because it keeps automatically closing when I start it.
