Explorer Patcher if you need a vertical taskbar. Otherwise MS has been gradually adding the most requested features.

Not justifying what's missing, but a lot of people didn't understand just how big an overhaul they performed on the core UI. Explorer file manager and the main taskbar GUI have both updated, and the taskbar GUI is a new one from scratch that carries over 98% of features.

This kind of deeper update was long overdue, and makes the experience using 11 on a mixed use tablet a lot nicer frankly, bringing 11 closer to a unified tablet/desktop OS as it needs to be.
