So I installed Explorer patcher to get the old taskbar back https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher
Other than that the only feature of 11 that I have used is the snap zones. And I guess if I want that I can install the power toy it is based on.
Ach, that's a deal breaker for me too - it's one of the first things I disable on a new Win10 install.
I didn't know about this, so thanks for giving me another reason to stick with 10!
