Secondly: the most used functions should be always accessible, period. When a user picks up a phone with a specific task in mind, his path to complete that task should be as optimized as possible. |
You pin what you use most often to the start screen.
You can also customise the tiles size and colour.
You can even apply a picture across all your tiles.

If you have tons of apps, just flick the screen to the left, click a letter and find what you want.
It's easy and accessible.
My grandmother finds it easier to use than iOS and Android, Personally I am probably classed as a "Power user" and have no drama's.

Fourthly: no folders. Only an alphabetical app list. For example, if you need to access multiple apps you often use together quickly, you can't have them sitting next to each other on a folder. You're forced to scroll up and down the list every time. Instead of having connected apps next to each other, you're forced to make the connections in your head, which is cumbersome and needlessly taxing, once again all because of consistency. |
Well. You have "App folders" - Pin that to your start screen and throw all your most used apps into it.

I love the UI, it works fantastic on a phone. I'm not a fan of it however on Desktops and Laptops and it's "alright" on a tablet.
The OS isn't going to be for everyone though, the more hard core enthusiasts should stick to Android.
