Thank fuck I'm in the process of moving to Linux. I loathe the Settings app. Will be sad to not be able to say I know how to properly use Windows anymore, when I used to know it like the back of my hand. Not being able to give support to friends and family will feel really weird.

I see it as being liberated. Besides, while it'll suck to be unable to fix their problems, if it gets bad enough that they consider other operating systems, you'll be right there to help them switch!

I am pure linux for personal use and mac for work but:

Good. One of the biggest problems Windows has had for the past decade or so is having like three different versions of every menu and needing to figure out which one let you do what you want. Consolidate that shit

I can't wait for Microsoft to kill itself.

What is the benefit? The name? Call control panel "Settings" and be done with it.

You could phase it in. "Control Panel Settings", then "CP Settings", then just "Settings" and Bob's your mother's brother!

Can someone explain to me the difference from Control Panel to Settings? It seems like more of a name change and of course, the UI will be different, but won't it effectively be a hub to control your personal settings just like control panel?
