It's like the new settings UI on mac os. It's all list. Before there were different layout patterns (Grid, then sectioned forms inside tabs). Great for spatial memorization. They've thrown it out of the windows for something that only works for small vertical screens with touch. It also sucks if you're using a mouse with the iPad.



Why the hell isn't that list in alphabetical order. No, the random groupings aren't helpful for me to find things at all.


> It's all list.

Now I'm imagining a kind of spreadsheet-based hell where the UI is one enormous vertically scrollable grid of cells that are sometimes labels and sometimes inputs and sometimes buttons...

I feel like I caught a glimpse of it once or twice in the VB5 / Java Swing days.


and the search is still awful. In the world of tags, AI, and fuzzy search you still have to remember the -exact- name of what you're looking for
