Based on my experience of using 10 for several months, only two of these issues bothered me:
1) The weird multiple control panels make it hard to know how to change some settings.
2) The involuntary upgrade that got me using the OS in the first place.
Overall this is the best experience I've had with any version of Windows. The core windowing functionality is great. It's the first time I haven't felt the need to install another window manager. I think normal users who didn't like the weirdness of the start screen on 8 will be happy with 10.
You got lucky getting by with only 2 issues, I've lost count and since abandoned the OS.
When I upgraded my 8GB RAM, i7 machine (what should be a decent bit of kit) I experienced continual problems.
Sound drivers would just stop working, the OS would completely forget that there were even speakers. The cause would always change and there would always be a different, stressful, time consuming fix. This was not an uncommon problem, I found myself in a large crowd with these faults.
Later I found myself joining plenty others in losing networking abilities after forced updates. My WiFi drivers would vanish and intermittently reappear, pretty much like the sound issue.
Every update MS pushed led to another time-sucking issue to patch up, I would dread the next update.
The continual problems caused by Windows 10 made me go out and buy a Mac. I don't want anything to do with Windows anymore. After suffering through the Windows Phone, Windows 8 and now Windows 10 I'm completely done with MS. It's so sad to see the company just turn itself to trash, I used to be a huge fan.
I totally agree with you Control Panel / Settings are indeed a mess. And a year later they still haven't figured out how to integrate the two. Its funny that when you click on the Wifi icon in the task bar you get the modern looking settings, then you right click on it and choose network settings and you get a completely different experience.
Other than that its a stable OS that does what I want. Also Bash is a very welcome addition.
