I know Metro is hated… But does anyone actually prefer the Windows 11 start menu over the Windows 10 Metro tiles start menu?

I know that Metro doesn't have a great reputation because of the whole Windows 8 tragedy. However, does anyone actually think that Metro is even worse than the Windows 11 fluent start menu? I used the Windows 10 start menu quite a lot, and thought it was cool how You can just drag the start menu as large as You want and how colourful it was.

I also think that Metro is overhated… Sure, it was an insanely dumb idea to use it in Windows 8 instead of a desktop. But besides that I think the design looks quite charming and friendly while still having a bit of a futuristic edge. I honestly never… NEVER used the start menu in Windows 11 in comparison. The only times I open the start menu in Windows 11 is when I turn off my PC or I open the settings.

Metro sure wasn't perfect, but I still think that Metro was better than lazily slapping a bunch of apps into a start menu without any sort of design or personality. The Windows 11 start menu functions more as a folder than anything else imo. The "recommended" tab is a nice idea. But it never shows the things that I currently have use for.

I also liked how I could individually change the icon size of each app and how customizable the metro start menu was.

I don't have a problem at all with People prefering the Windows 11 start menu, but I would just like to know why. What made You prefer the fluent start menu over the metro tiles start menu?

Perhaps I just like Metro because I was a huge fan of the XBOX 360 and it used the same design philosophy. But anyways, what's your opinion?
