opening new settings will just replace where you just where

I don't use windows super often anymore, so I don't really have that usecase, but man. Just imagining it makes me annoyed and angry

    You probably should never use a Mac then.

    I honestly don't understand why macs are so popular in IT. Flexibility and configurability are not the words that can be used to describe their system.

    I'm pretty positive on mac OS, as an OS it's technically quite good, but their preferences app has always been atrocious almost entirely for this reason, I want to have two preferences windows open to different pages please..

    I hear you. I have always been a power user so I was pretty shocked when you could not open two file managers at once in OSX.

    The thing about Apple devices is they work great, as long as you do it they way they want.

    You can have multiple finder windows in OSX, thats perfectly normal, but you cant have the network settings open next to the printer settings.

    Well that was not the case with the last time I used OSX. You click on finder and it would not open a second window. This is not how Windows or Gnome/Kwin work.

    you have been able to right click (or i guess two finger click for apple people) and open a second window forever.

    Yeah, like I was saying. You have to do it the way they want rather than just click on it like every other GUI.

    One thing I really did like was the use of the drop down menu. I really appreciate all programs using the same basic interface.

    I absolutely hated all the Microsoft Ribbon bar nonsense. They have reinvented it so many times you never know where to find anything.
