I agree but I think this is good for Windows 10 since they seem to be moving to replace the control panel with the settings app.If anything it might be a good tool to learn your way around and find where the settings for everything are located.I am sure it will save a lot of frustration for some people.
I never really used it in Windows 7 as I found it easier without it.Same thing for Windows 8.1 once you learned your way around it.

What is God Mode ?

It is like the Control Panel however every setting is listed in one place.This is more useful on Windows 10(Windows 8.1 also) as some settings that were in the control panel are now in the settings app such as Update & Recovery.

This shows them side by side.GodMode does not replace the control panel,as you can see I still have both icons on my desktop.In Windows 10 as well as other versions it puts all your settings in one place.In Windows 10 it will make it a little less stressful as you learn your way around the new OS.

is it possible to use GodMode as the default control panel
Click to expand...
No but you can remove the control panel from your desktop and keep GodMode as your control panel.In windows 10 Pro you can pin it to the start menu as well as file explorer

Any words will be registered except for those critical names like 'com' which it should turn out to be error, since it considered as a unique name for Windows components. ;)
 
Once you have created the "God Mode" folder, move to the C:\ directory and customise on how you want to use it.

For example;

Right-click to Pin to Quick Access
