Sure, it’s more like it, but not. Aka a UI disaster.
No specifics, no actual complaints or constructive criticism, just “Apple bad, Tim bad”.
The old system preferences app was terrible in my experience, but that’s mostly because I use a lot of apple’s accessibility features, a lot of which didn’t work very well with the different custom preference panes.
Now that there’s a unified look across all of the system settings menus, it is way more easy for me to get around.
The fact that the settings are now arranged in the same order as the iPhone and iPad also doesn’t hurt, and makes switching between those devices just that much more easy.
I will concede that it was kind of shortsighted on apples part to not at least implement an optional “gridview” that makes navigation act a little bit more like the old system preferences app, but over all, a good change.
As a fan of the old dashboard, the new widgets work just as well, and the fact that you can drag an iPhone widget right onto your desktop is a very nice touch.
I don’t even know how to respond to the complaint about the stickers in the Messages app. Sure it’s a novelty feature, but one clearly a lot of people like. How is it any less stupid then back in the day when Steve would dedicate 15 minutes of each presentation to give another demo of iChat and Photo Booth filters and backgrounds?
There is no difference, other than the apps are called Messages and FaceTime now.
