Comment on Windows 10 is the last version of Windows
warm@kbin.earth 6 months agoAlso the case of how its been in Windows for decades, if it was truly better they would have changed it ages ago, but it isnt better, its just UI designers justifying their paychecks.

Some of these changes may not stick, but UI / UX is always evolving to the next thing. You have to try things to know if they are successful. I’ll use the new Apple Vision Pro as a example. Apple is taking a gamble here and this is a HUGE change in UI interactions, can you imagine if they never evolved past the old iPod scroll wheel? (maybe a bad example becuaee that was a great tactile user experience). But my point is people have evolved how they use technology, it’s “generally” more reliable and the under the hood stuff can be tucked away for the general user.

You can't compare adding extra clicks to do a function that has been available in an OS for decades to a company releasing an entire new product with a new OS.
We don't want things tucked away, my very non-techy savvy parents call me all the time for help and it's no wonder because UI just gets less and less intuitive every year, with more things buried into context menus.

Just use the classic control panel if that’s the case. It’s still there.

That's not the point is it. Obviously I can hack the shit out it and install stuff to get it close to how I want, but the point is that is what its like default. That's like saying I can't complain about web UX because I can just edit the HTML/CSS!
