    They seem to be eliminating useful features for no good reason.
    Latest example:
    On moving from version 5.27 to 6.4, I find systemsettings no longer has
    an icon view mode, only sidebar view. I reported this as a bug, and was
    told it was an intentional feature deletion. So now to use
    systemsettings, you have to scroll through a long list to find what you
    want, rather than seeing it at a glance in icon view.

    It's beginning to feel rather microsoftish - You WILL want what we say
    you want...

    Or you can do a search.

    That’s not possible with Free software. You always have a choice.
