Windows 8 startup time, is generally not "startup" time.
They do a resume from hibernation like scenario, so it seems like a fast startup.
Besides any OS without a lot of extra dll's or processes to load can be quite fast in any decent pc today.

As far as a user friendly OS.

It really comes down to what you learn first it seems. 
From my experience with introducing operating systems to people. I have setup quite a few people new to computers with various systems.
All of them then prefer that OS and think the rest are troublesome. Those that start on anything but windows, will do ANYTHING but windows after a brief time with it.
The argument? "It doesn't have the stuff I need, or am used to"
Not long ago we used to hear the exact opposite with those trying another OS after Windows.

I have had more than a couple now that asked me to help then learn other OS, for the sole purpose that they are tired of all the malware in windows.

So its all about your needs, what you are willing to learn, what you learn first, and who you have around to help it seems.

So even if you hit "shut down", it hibernates? Is there any way to actually shut it down?

  That was a good read Wolv, but after making a bad choice to install it, I made a much better choice when
I went back to 7.
  Interesting thing, with all the negative stuff about 8 in the media, is the number of people asking if there
are any options other than Microsoft.
  This might cost them more than what is obvious in the long run.
   Time, of course, will tell.
