Control Panel is actually useful. Won’t touch that new settings page if I don’t have to

The amount of wasted white space in Settings is ridiculous, like they didn't involve a single UI designer in the entire development process. You have to do so much scrolling and clicking through submenus to find things that there was plenty of room for on the landing page, it's a very stupid layout.

I think it's because they're going for some weird ass hybrid touch friendly but also mouse friendly design. So it ends up being shit for both.
