Oh, sweet summer child.
Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon

So… why are people upset about this? I’d say it’s about damn time. Having two settings apps is pretty ridiculous and it’s honestly crazy it’s taken them this long to ditch the control panel. Is there anything special about the control panel or uniquely terrible about the settings app that would warrant this kind of negative reaction? Is it because of the settings that aren’t available in settings? If they’re preparing to drop control panel that probably means they’re going to add whatever settings are still stranded on it to the new settings app, unless there’s evidence that they won’t do that.

The problem is that the settings app has consistently been a dumbed down, feature-sparse version of what was in the control panel for the bits it has replaced. Tweaks that experienced users have relied on for decades are simply missing in the settings app, forcing them to go back to the control panel
If Microsoft actually re-implemented all the knobs and dials in control panel then I wouldn’t be so irritated, but we’ve been shown for the last several years that they only bother migrating the most commonly used settings.

I bet within a decade they pivot to barely any settings at all, claiming the released experience is the only experience you’ll ever need.
