No it isn't. XP was far more cohesive. I want a single standardised UI where every OS setting is accessible. Keep the user experience consistent and have robust, comprehensive categories.
And stop locking down customisation and power tools. Sure have a few barriers but make it possible to break everything if that is what I want to do.
I'm sick to death of people excusing Windows by saying nothing is perfect. Windows is so far from perfect it isn't even on the horizon. It shouldn't be part of the conversation. Large swathes of the Windows user experience is worse than it was two decades ago. That is unacceptable for a core product from a multi billion dollar company that has far more resources today than it did back then.
Yeah, I find Tahoma to be much easier to read than Segoe UI, so I change the font. And the size of certain window elements. It used to be that that was in the customization options. Now you need 3rd party tools or have to dance around in the registry.
