Hello. I am rational developer. I am very clever and very rational. Devoid of emotion. Oh what is this? Someone implies that there are objective standards of quality in a field I know little about? Someone who has used something for decades to do deep work, and has built up deep experience, implies they know better than Joe R. Random, or the people who are currently maintaining it? What is this bubbling feeling in me? Insecurity? No way. I am rational. Therefor these opinions must be objectively stupid and purely based in taste and emotional and wrong. I can tell because the author used a swear word, and swear words mean they are angry and thus incorrect.

Just from a visual balance point of view, the new settings panel doesn't remotely match the intent of Aqua UI. The fact that they are then putting scrollable panels in the _middle_ of a _side_ of a window, with a sticky part both on top and at the bottom, shows you they don't particularly know where shit should go.
Making changes for the sake of making changes is by itself pointless busywork. But ignoring the established practices of desktop UIs to make them more in-line with touch UIs is destructive.
