How so?
Because the start screen is where people go for their newly installed applications. And then they see it's not there. And then, if after a moment of being completely puzzled, you realize that you have to look for it in All Apps (a well-hidden feature), then good luck scrolling left-to-right through a marsh of unused crap to find the thing you want to pin.
I've gotten into the habit of using the search feature instead of finding it visually, it's much faster than even the old start menu's feature

if you absolutely had to leave the Start Screen concept as it is?
That's kind of like a catch-22.
The primary problems with the start screen are the illusion of organisation (it looks like a clean overview-- but it's actually a mess), and the fact that will inescapably devolve into the typical crowded desktop of icons, without any way of cleaning it up.
The start screen is junk.
My general policy is that only the very most used things go on the start menu, and everything else goes into the mess, only findable via search. It seems to work well.
