They've been building out the Settings app for over 6 years.

I hate how you can only have 1 instance of the settings app open, unlike the old control panel, really leaves people who wanna see multiple parts of the settings app no choice but to open the old control panel

Yep, it's getting better and better. For example, we can now change default sound devices - and apply monitor colour profiles - using the new settings.

Lots of work remains, but they're getting there step by step. E.g, there's no link to modify the colour profiles yet, but at least being able to quickly check and change from previously defined ones is a good little addition.

This makes me very sad. Remember when you had to learn to program just to be able to load a game from a disc in the 80s-90s? People can't even be bothered to learn now a days. Is this part of the "instant gratification" societal aspect? Personally I found that everytime that they try to hide settings it just makes it harder for me to find things. For instance before the separation of the Control Panel, they made this Categories view. This is the worst of everything. The categories that they put the settings under rarely made sense and you can't just press a hotkey to jump to the known settings panel. I really really hate the category view! haha
