I dont see the advantages of it, the new Start of Win10 , allow you to duplicate the classic Win 7 start at 90%. You just consume more resources and i don't talk about potential exploits on it.
ahhhh desktop customization... afford nothing but please the eyes and make people feel unique

You have the right idea, its about making it your own, not everyone wants to be a sheep in the flock If you have a solid Config, why not put it to the test lol
There you go loosing you sense of adventure again

on Win7 i did a lot of customization, my whole OS was almost glassy , everything transparent

That's not easy to do either true glass apps and tweaks are (were) hard to find. Winaero did a good job for some of it but it took alot of other bits and pieces to make the whole system glass,
and even then there were some pesky areas that refused to stay glassed. I can relate I too loved everything I could glass lol
