My experience was it tried to use GUI too much instead of PowerShell and such. I think it was MS trying to make things uniform, but we can agree Metro was just a mess. Sure you could add classic shell but it was another process to run. Not defending or disparaging anything but learn and work with what you get sometimes

I prefer Linux and SSH for servers over Windows Server for that exact reason. Windows Server is way too GUI heavy. 2012 was a bit more maddening because it used a GUI that was designed for touch. But yeah you're right... Work with what you get. It just sucks when you get Windows Server 2012.
