Recently I purchased a Gigabyte p34v2 cf2 laptop which comes stock with windows 8.1.
found here:

I was wondering whether I should remove windows 8.1 and install windows 7.
What are the pros and cons of each OS?
Although I have heard the mobile interface of windows 8.1 sucks but you can download programs that help make it manageable (like adding a start button)
 
windows 8.1 will give a increase in gaming performance. On some games it will be no difference and some low and on some low-medium difference - if it made sense
windows 7 really is just more user friendly
if u want 8.1 to look more like 7 then you shold try this popular program - http://www.classicshell.net/

So is windows 8.1 really as bad as people make it out to be?

Since it's purely opinion, that's entirely up to you. You're not asking an objective question.

Hard to say, some hate it, some love it. I like it
 


People just complained about the looks of it for the most part.

I like it. And do not miss the start menu at all. Boot directly to the desktop, oft used applications pinned to the taskbar.

Start menu? No need for it.
