However since im not into it I don't know what this is doing and what it affects, but for the stuff I read people say it was mostly to play and derp around because it was a really messy function.

Yes,
Execute string is a very resource demanding function. It, along with other functions such as all the _add functions, were removed due to being Windows Only. Game Maker: Studio is able to go cross-platform, to mac, mobile, etc. However, these functions were only shortcuts. There are numerous ways to get around the use of these functions, and ways that are much less resource intensive.

If it's compatible with other OS's, then maybe I'll give it a try. I've just gotten so used to the GML of 8.1, and 8.1's interface, that I don't know if I really wakt to try and make a switch. :(

You can switch the interface of GM:S to GM 8's color scheme, under File > Preferences... > General. And the script editor can be changed in preferences as well, under the tab Scripts and Code.
