the control panel they're taking away is largely just antiquated and not used anymore in favour of settings app anyway
There are still things that don't work in the new UI. A common example for me is changing the output of speakers on my htpc. Sometimes after an update it reverts to 2.0. Need to launch the old sound control panel to set it back to 7.1.
Or some network settings are not in the new "sinple" ui.
Or advanced power plan.
The only positive setting I can think of for the new settings ui is proxy settings finally being moved out of IE.
except any advanced user relies in that instead of the garbage settings menu
Users complain about changes being made and then they complain that change doesn't happen enough.
