Which proves that history repeats itself. Apple goes overboard with its initial design and pulls back in places with subsequent point releases. Everyone in 5 years forgets that their phone was allegedly unusable!!! for a matter of months.
I've had almost zero issues with iOS 7.0 - most of my gripes are my dislike of the new icons and bad discoverability (e.g.: casting a song to airplay /bluetooth speaker), but none of that made the phone unusable. The control center by itself makes iOS7 better than iOS6.
It's odd that it isn't searchable since OS X's analogous System Preferences has had its cool search with the fading light graphic for many years.
Right now it's sad I have to search google on how to find some of the settings on the iPhone.
