  My work laptop recently started having issues with the keyboard so I got a loaner, an unopened M1 Pro. It was still on an older version of the Mac OS, and I am so bummed that they want it back. The UI that you're referring to is malpractice.

  System preferences was a really poor design tbh. It just felt so easy because it had been there so long and everyone had the muscle memory. The new one is not much better I agree. But the old one was objectively not great in terms of UX Design. The main problem with the new one in my opinion is that they're shoehorning a mobile experience on the Mac. Something Apple does more and more (and not just Apple, gnome does it too)

    The old System Preferences showed large, easily differentiable icons, front and center in a nice big grid. The new Settings app shows tiny, barely differentiable icons, hugging the left-most edge of the app. With the old System Preferences, I could immediately tell you where the "Display" and "Privacy & Security" icons could be found. In the new Settings app, I challenge you to tell me where they are in the list without looking.

  Honestly, I'm not even sure that this is a problem that can be solved. There are too many settings you could access, with no obvious single way to categorize them all. Search is probably the best you can do.

  Does this include the use of cmd+spacebar? Personally, I feel like I haven't had to open it outside of my search.
