It's the absolute worst part of modern MacOS IMHO. As a Mac user measured in decades, it's the thing most likely to drive me back to Linux.
[edit: I am curious why this topic has been flagged]
- mb64 3y agoAlso a Mac user for nearly 2 decades. I don't care too much about most of the things mentioned in the article but I absolutely agree with you about the new System Prefs.
- ryandrake 3y agoAnother thing terrible about the Settings app is you cannot navigate it with the keyboard only (at least I have not figured out how). So if your Bluetooth mouse fails (which happens at least once a week for me) you can’t use a keyboard alone to correct it. Nope you have to fish out a wired mouse, plug it in, and then reset Bluetooth or whatever it takes to get the BT mouse working again. Madness.

- cwillu 3y agoWhy on earth would that be off by default though?
- BakaRakuda 3y agoBest guess is Apple finds it slightly unaesthetic and considers it more of an assistive function rather than strictly necessary for everyone. I think its been this was as long as OS X has existed, maybe even earlier versions of Mac OS were the same?
- coldtea 3y agoFor simple users, perhaps because it might be confusing (press some keys accidentally, something suddenly happens in the UI). For some power users, perhaps because if you don't need it, it hijacks a lot of key combinations that you could use as custom keyboard shortcuts.
- netghost 3y agoIsn't the only way to navigate it now by using the search bar to find the thing you're looking for? I jest, but there was a time when I could find my settings in under a minute or two.
- timeimp 3y agoNew macOS Settings app is an insult to everything Mac. Sadly, while many here on the Orange Website may miss this, the numbers would (probably) show an overwhelming number of iOS -> macOS users.
- pindab0ter 3y agoI have never had an issue with the new Settings app. Could you go into why you think it's so terrible?
- sillywalk 3y agoI'd add Apple Music as a horrorshow. iTunes was bloated garbage. Music is somehow much worse.
