Yes and I have fooled with them some but didn't like them. They (or jump lists) are ok for links to reduce icons on the task bar or to reduce dependency on the Start Menu but I don't need any more programs quickly accessible than I already have on the task bar (at the time I took the screen shot, I also had three folders opened and resized for a specific task but minimized so I could see the desktop so the taskbar is actually less cluttered than shown) so toolbars or jump lists aren't really needed. I also find them cumbersome to use.
As far as the stuff on the desktop goes, it's there because I need it in my face; otherwise I would forget about it. If I used tool bars, they wouldn't be in my face. I have ADHD and, if something isn't in my face, it's forgotten (one reason why One Note didn't work for me). That's why all the virtual post-it notes. I do have some notes I don't need in my face but I refer to often enough to want the easily accessible. Those are the four at the top of the screen to the left of the calendar and are rolled up to conserve screen real estate. When I need to access the data on them, I just roll them down.
To you, what's on my desktop may appear to be trivial clutter. To me, it's a lifeline to keep my life reasonably organized.

My desktop has changed a bit since then. It's a bit less cluttered now.
