One of the best tools to set a Windows/Reactos computer among MMC.exe, and now their are ditching it because of braindead mobile users with no clues to solve anything.
Can you try to simplify this, split it into 2-3 sentences, and so clarify what you wanted to say?
2. I tried to word it politely, in fact.
If you understood it then what do you think it meant?

I was just skipping the comment because it was made no sense and seems to be trying to be hostile.
Skipping it is arguably more toxic than asking politely to rephrase it. Skipping it assumes the meaning behind the comment isn't worth trying to decipher.
I default to, "If they can't be bothered to write it properly then it's probably not worth reading". But that's not always fair to EFL people or NT people.
What do you feel the correct course of action is?
--- Edit: Based on the comment and what pcdoodle has said, is this a fair representation of how you interpret the comment?
>Control Panel is one of the best tools to configure a Windows/ReactOS computer. (Another such tool is "MMC.exe".)
>Braindead and clueless mobile users can't figure out how to use Control Panel. That's why Microsoft are ditching Control Panel in favour of the more iOS/Android-style Settings.
>This is frustrating to me as a Windows power user.
> Braindead and clueless mobile users can't figure out how to use Control Panel. That's why Microsoft are ditching Control Panel in favour of the more iOS/Android-style Settings.

Aha! Now I get it! Thank you.
The challenge as I see it is 'GUI windows' must serve a very wide spectrum of users from those that just want to use it as an appliance to just launch an application, through various definitions of power user up to workstations for full certified professionals, and I think it's the middle of the pack that really lean on control panel/settings. Appliance users probably never or extremely rarely touch settings, and professionals can take to it like ducks to water if they're using it at all compared to another interface. While I can appreciate some motivations behind what MS do with windows such as security, things like this seem like they're pushing the emphasis more towards appliance and cutting away the 'personal computer' which (without any more research than a wet finger in the air) I think would account for that 'middle of the pack'.
What really bothers me is if it's taken them 12 years since win8 started their movement in this direction to get to the current state, how long will it take them to complete the change, let alone come up with something clearly better where no one would want to use the classic control panel. MS don't give the impression they have the capability or drive to execute that promptly. It seems more likely they'll just remove any mention of control panel from the UI/explorer, but leave the .cpls available unless they cause issues.
I have given up a couple of times on writing a Powershell extension. My searches return all sorts of hits on how to use it, but none on how to add objects to it so that modern sysadmins can administer my application. Links to official docs and authoritative blogs welcome.
