The Control Center makes scanning the available settings easier, and avoids the increasingly-meaningless distinction between Preferences and Administration. And it saves two clicks (or one drag), compared with the Preferences/Administration menus, whenever you open the wrong settings window by mistake. However, the Control Center adds an extra click whenever you access any settings from it, because you need to close the Control Center once you've finished. And the "Filter" (eh?) searches only the names of the settings windows, not their contents or synonyms: for example searching for "modem" or "wallpaper" returns nothing except a shocked-looking yellow ball. Both these problems are solvable.
