I don't like Windows 8 simply because it doesn't do anything objectively useful or needful, besides a few small speed increases. Everything that Windows 8 does, could be done in a Windows 7 add on. Windows 7 is perfect for the time being, there's literally no reason for me to downgrade.

Fixed that for you.

I find win8 to be really nice to use. 8.1 on the other hand is a disaster with all those compatibility issues.

I don't think there's anything in 8.1 that breaks any program that worked in 8...

It looks cool, but I honestly don't see why I should move away from Windows 7.

Faster startup/shutdown times. OS uses less RAM and CPU.

I was gonna buy a Windows 7 install disc and downgrade, but I recently downloaded a ClassicStart8, so I'll never have to look at that ugly metro screen ever again. Best part is, I saved myself about $90. xD

I in the belief that if something works for you, you should keep using it. I try to be grateful with what I have. Windows 7 is a great OS. I never ask anyone to upgrade to Windows 8 just for sake of it. It's expensive, and the money is better spent elsewhere.

Here's the only scenario that I recommend one upgrades to Windows 8: if you want to run Windows 8 exclusive apps, like Halo Spartan Assault. Otherwise, stick to what you got (as long it is safe to do so).
