Even the Settings app is OK with me... speaking as a Mac user (almost) continuously since the original Mac Plus (although I use Linux for servers):
I really just couldn't care less about the change in the settings app. I usually typed something into the Spotlight search area to find what I wanted in the old version, and I do the same thing now. I just didn't have to change settings enough to have remembered their old locations.
I can’t stand search in the settings app. The results are in decipherable to me. It seems like I get 15 results that have almost identical text and have to click through them to figure out which was the right one.
Part of this extends from how Apple is implementing security. There are at Lear half a dozen security and accessibility options that all hide similar app lists.
