But startisback and others like it are natively integrated to the point they aren't run as third party apps, there isn't even a start menu programs listing for it because of that as it doesn't run like a standalone app.
Anyway, people used tools on 10 to get stuff back they lost from 7, the benefit of startisback is that it gives you a lot more scope to get tweaked just how you want, far beyond 10, even though it works on 10 too to give more control. Uses zero system resources as well because of the first bit mentioned.
I consider it like installing an alternative launcher app on Android, it replaces the often always lacklustere OEM launcher from Google/Samsung/Sony etc and allows you to get the look and feel you want without sacrificing anything.
Although yes there are those on that side of things who say "well why isn't it like that out the box, should not need to install a new launcher" - Correct but here we are, with ample choice to make our devices behave how we have always wanted thankfully.
