> Many of the same categories - from General to Sharing, Network to Startup Disk - are faithfully preserved in macOS Monterey much like they were in Mac OS X 10.0 back in 2000. IMHO, this is really good. One of the gripes I have with Windows is how Microsoft seems to constantly reorganize the control panel, which is as annoying as looking for something only to have trouble finding it because someone moved all your stuff around. IMHO, there should be a pretty high bar for reorganization, and as much stuff as possible should stay put, under the same or very similar name. > But my frustrations with System Preferences are that features are continuously being crammed into a format that has outgrown its utility, I agree with this. It's a problem if they're too hesitant to add to the top level, so shoehorn things where they don't really belong. > and that the current System Preferences continue to diverge significantly from Settings on iOS. One of the more annoying things in UX is the instance that everything should work like a phone. Phones have ridiculously limited input mechanisms and screens, which means that a lot of compromises need to be made. I'd really prefer desktop stuff be optimized for the desktop.
