I do like the Metro UI, and I find it awesome in a lot of ways, but it mostly seems forced and not that effective if you are using keyboard/mouse.
As a developer I doubt I would use the Metro UI a lot, so it would mostly be a shiny thing to randomly switch to.
It also worries me a bit that so many OS:es are moving away from keyboard-based navigation. One can always hope for good keyboard shortcuts, Win 7 has some good quite hidden keyboard shortcuts after all.
Also, how does it scale to my 3-display development machine? Multi-monitor may not be the standard, but it is quite common with monitor-prices going down. Mac OS X is quite random when it comes to scaling to multi-monitor.
I guess we'll eventually figure these things out, but a lot of uncertainties so far.
