I personally think some of the things on 10 look a lot better than 7 (just a change of scenery), but the things that are absolutely ugly just outshine the pretty features. Honestly, they should just make 7 more efficient, and then give it a facelift, rather than changing everything that people love about it.

Not as long as you have a recent backup to use for recovery purposes if something gets elephanted up; or you just decide you don't like it.
You might want to wait one more day though; the Theshold 2[^] update is supposed to launch with tomorrows patch Tuesday. It has assorted quality of life updates and is a rollup patch; so you shouldn't need to do any extra post-install patching after the upgrade.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I was gonna bring that up - some are expecting it to be included as part of tomorrow's set of patches, but MS has never confirmed it - but it is expected to be out this month. So either way, I'd wait for that to be available.

I don't mind the new UI and all, but some important things seem slower (at least on my laptop).
Sometimes when you click the start button, it does not open immediately. PC searching functionality seems slower as well (even if I disable the web search).

I've had no issues with Win10 at all. Go for it. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I have it on my main game machine at home with no issues at all. I did the upgrade 32-bit -> clean install 64-bit path to add more RAM to my system, and all seems well.
My long term goal is to live forever. So far, so good...

Upgraded my laptop from 8.1 to 10... And nothing changed.
Upgraded my desktop from 7 to 10... My BSOD problems vanished, and it generally feels a little faster and more stable. On the other hand, it likes to shuffle windows between monitors when I turn on the connected TV, often comes up out of hibernate at random times of the day or night (Even though I turned off wake-on-LAN), and likes to pop up web search results instead of applications when I hit the start key and type a few letters of an application name.
But in terms of things exploding and eating all of my data... Nope, went nice and smoothly. Considering Microsoft's track record with OS updates, I was actually fairly impressed.

The only issues I've had with Win10 are from third-party idiots vendors testing in production. (I'm looking at you, NVidia).
I've also had to help people who had Win10 and were having crashes and found that ALL of them were running programs written for Windows 98/ME! I told them to wait for the singularity, to which one suggested defragging the keyboard! (  )
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

De-fragging the keyboard isn't that stupid an idea.
If you turn the average keyboard upside down and give it a good shake, it's revolting what fragments fall out... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

My MSI based home system did not "like" Windows 10. Even with a clean install, after a few boots, it would claim the disk was corrupted and go to the repair menu. Yet, there, it would say everything was fine. After a few rounds of this, it would stop booting all together. I suspect there's a firmware issue with the SATA controller. (And even if not, I'm using that as an excuse to build a Skylake based system early next year.)
I went back to Windows 8.1 (which I actually like.)

Font rendering is messed up if you enable DPI scaling. There are some fixes though.

I've also been using Windows 10 for awhile now. I don't use Windows much and I thought 7 was good. So far, nothing wrong with Windows 10 for me.
