> They're well aware of that, and if you follow the insider previews, every new build is moving more of the features into the "new" way of doing things. Is it annoying there are two places? Absolutely... but the alternative is not changing anything and waiting 5 years while everything gets rolled up.
The Control Panel started transitioning to a 'browser-style' interface with Windows Vista. 10 years later, I'm still waiting for everything to be 'rolled up'.
In both cases, the old paradigm was 'fine', and a bifurcated UI made for a worse experience than either alternative.
In the current state, tons of settings are only available in one of three UIs, where all three are named identically and serve the same purpose. EG: To change the name of your computer, you might go, Settings > System > About > 'System Info' --> System [Vista] > 'change settings' --> System Properties [Win95].
I'd rather have the Windows 95 control panel workflow to this mess.
If it takes 5 years, they'll take 5 years. There's no reason to make the system worse in the meantime.
