A friend of mine who never used computers got a very nice new little tablet with a touch screen and she asked me for help getting started on in knowing I've been using Windows computers since 1997. I all but ran screaming from the room trying to cope with Windows 8. I know eventually I could manage it, but I was certainly no help to her on that one occasion and felt like a complete idiot for even agreeing to try. I totally resent unnecessary changes that don't immediately show themselves to be much better than before. The fact that it's for touch screens doesn't excuse this mess because I use a touch screen on my iPhone and had no particular problem getting started with it and navigating through the Internet and a variety of apps.
