THIS was your tipping point. control panel removal.
LMAO
it’s a very good tipping point dude. settings is so complicated to navigate and is very slow. not to mention control panel still has more features than settings
Have you used Settings?
I just hit the windows key and start typing what I want. I don't use settings as a menu option much.

This isn't removal, is deprecation.
I agree with your point about OS X style menus, they've been steadily going downhill since "macOS" though. Granted, they're still uphill of whatever the fuck Microsoft seems to think of.
Can you enlighten me on what is the 'already half-assed solution that is the control panel on Linux" [sic]. That you mean.
Far as I know, there are many a different approaches to half-assed solutions to control panels on Linux [sic].
Fair enough. And I didn't mean it as a slight. Just genuinely curious about what a unified Linux Control Panel might have been like.
This is not to say that the Gnome and KDE (or Plasma) panels (f. ex.) don't have their varied and myriad shortcomings, but that's another discussion.
