What a joke of a post.

1. Good point, but it's only a reason to wait a little bit before upgrading. This is actually the solution to numbers 6, 7 , and 9 of the list.

2. Yes it can. This will affect almost nobody. It's not even worth double checking before you upgrade.

3. Download Rainmeter. It's better than Gadgets, and it always has been.

4. Windows 10 has a ton of improvements, and it's not just a fix for Windows 8. That's what Windows 8.1 was, and it's arguably a better operating system than Windows 7 already.

5. Valid point, but this doesn't make Windows 10 any less appealing.

6. Never heard of someone using that, but it's remedied by #1 on the list.

7. Remedied by #1.

8. Again, never heard of anyone using this, and it really seems to be terrible compared to many options out there, but I guess if you really hate change that much even when it's change for the better, this could be a real issue.

9. Good advice, but like #2 this is not a reason to avoid the upgrade. It's just a thing you may want to double check first, but chances are you won't have to. Also, it's remedied by #1.

10. I'm not following a link that's spammed here and giving them a pageview for not trying to contribute to this community, so I don't know what #10 is.

I know I sound like a shill for Microsoft, but in reality one of my pet peeves is just people being blindly resistant to change. This list is a perfect example of that.
