I've read that essay multiple times, in different variants. It is
always written by people who confuse user interface features with
software design. Preference panes are a user interface feature for
making the most commonly used configuration options easy to get to
for casual users. Configuration options are parts of a software
package's API.
I've also used Gnome, and other programs written by people who take
that shit seriously, so I know what the thinking behind the essay
actually leads to.
