While I sympathize with those who've ended up with an unintended upgrade and deplore the tactics that MS has used to maximize Windows 10 install counts in this whole affair, I think what you said is the bottom line.
Yes, on first glance, the Windows 10 user interface is quite a bit different (especially so for those coming from Windows 7, but from Windows 8.x, not so much). However, there are a few simple tweaks you can make to put a lot of things pretty much back the way they were. I'd be happy to advise on that subject. I'm a so-called Windows Insider (translation, I enjoy living on the bleeding edge) and am very familiar with customizing Windows. There are some very nice usability improvements to the start menu coming in the so-called "anniversary update" coming in July (though still no option to turn the tiles off altogether ;-).
But aside from all the user interface issues, the underlying operating system is quite a bit better than Windows 7 and 8.x and I'm glad I upgraded as well.
