> Have you ever tried that? You'll find that the plumbing consists of 20 different standards of pipe cobbled together over the past 30 years by dozens of different plumbers, each with their own conception of how plumbing should work but too lazy to tear out the whole thing and replace it so they just patch in their change with duct tape and rubber bands. This is actually true:), but I defy you to find a desktop OS of which the same isn't true. Did MS ever fix the fact that they have 2 completely different control panels with partially-overlapping functionality? And I know Windows Explorer still can't open certain paths because DOS had a ... poor implementation of device files. > Pottering, is loathed for being successful at it. Pottering unified the plumbing by taking a demolition crew to the house and replacing the plumbing and electrical systems while people were living in it, informed us that objects being automatically thrown in the trash if they were on the floor when you left the room was a feature[0], and demanded that all faucet manufacturers adopt a new pipe size that only his plumbing uses[1].

if you're referring to the split that came with Windows 8 , there's been (slow) progress in Windows 10. There's still a handful of settings left in the old Control Panel, but most of them have been moved to the new Settings app.
