Applications Folder - beware Tahoe!

Avatar Rick Churchill
I upgraded my computer to Tahoe. Now my applications folder is in disarray and I cannot move the icons around like on the phone or even put them on different pages.
I had them as recognisable icons on two pages each in alphabetical order. The most used ones on the first page and similar apps like audio, photography, Apple office apps etc. grouped together under one icon.
I submitted the following to Apple:

“Please restore the way the Application Folder use to work. You have removed the user's ability to organise it how he wishes. Now it is harder to find the Application”

With the applications window open in Finder:
View > Show View Options (or just Command-J)
Set both 'Group by:' and 'Sort by:' to None.
Rearrange icons until bored.

I doubt there's any way of recovering your previous configuration without recreating it though.

Is it me being cynical or have other people noticed that the User Experience across many devices (not just Apple) has deteriorated since the invention of UX specialists? Perhaps the need to be seen gets in the way of the User eXperience...
