That’s because some settings are commonly changed, whereas others rarely. Cramming every single thing that can be construed as a “setting” into a single page results in a mess.
Also, like anything else in the app, settings are context-dependent. Some are system-wise, whereas others might be user-specific. Therefore, it makes sense to segregate them, IMHO.

- boomboomsubban 7y agoPut all of the settings in the same area, and then segregate them by type in that area. Like how Firefox broadly does it. Every setting should be accessible from one central hub, and you can also make it accessible somewhere else if convenient.

- qzw 7y agoDoesn't mean they can't be logically grouped and presented using different tabs or even links, such as "Global settings", "User settings", etc. They may have different contexts, but they all fall under the purpose/concept of "customization". Discoverable doesn't have to imply unorganized.
