Things that were confidently set in their ways for the entire life of the product almost, also ended up buckling in recent years. I'm pretty disappointed, just for one example, in how Apple walked away from good old System Preferences into this System Settings for no good reason at all, just to make it analogous to their messy iOS settings page. It's a Mac and not an iPhone, and shouldn't behave like one, but what do you know, they know what is best for us I guess as we are saddled with yearly updates that must change some thing we've grown familiar with just for the sake of change. Imagine if the hammer in your garage changed how it worked every year.
- eszed 3y agoI don't like that change, either, but making "System Settings" analogous to Apple's (indeed messy) iOS settings has been a boon to the users I support. They're used to iOS's quirks, and now require much less hand-holding when they have to make changes to their MacOS systems. I've decided to let go of my irritation: learning new systems is a core part of my job description; it's not theirs.
