This has been addressed various times. In brief: Advanced buttons do not work. They'll be clicked every time. Tweak tool provides a different guarantee of stability. For instance: if you change an option in System Settings and it results in a bug it must be fixed asap. At the same time, the sloppy focus option in Tweak tool is known to have issues. And to avoid misunderstandings: sloppy focus has less issues with every release.
Having a separate "tweak tool" is a lame workaround for lack of settings in the official tools. The only reason such "tweak tools" exist on proprietary operating systems is because the proprietary companies don't want to officially support some functionality, so you need a third-party tool to enable the hidden settings. Having an "official tweak tool" is really really silly.
Kevin, you work on a desktop which sufficiently represents your views. I think we're all aware that if we want fifteen thousand settings in the control panel, we can run KDE. Do you really believe you're going to convince the GNOME developers to turn GNOME into KDE with posts like the above? If not, what's the point of writing them? What do you expect your post to achieve?
