I’m not sure what to say. Settings just doesn’t let you get anything done. Are they going to add all the missing functionality to settings before getting rid of control panel? We all know the answer.

If my company didn’t have a windows mandate I would fully abandon it at this point. What a joke.

Yup. I have 1 app that requires window. That's all that's keeping me. That one app. And we're migrating away from it towards a webif, so it's only a matter of time.

I'm curious about how this impacts the buttons in the settings app that just open the appropriate control panel applet. Like "additional sound settings" for example.
