The main complaint seems to be that Gnome Software doesn't show all
packages. This is a design choice. Only GUI apps with .desktop files are
meant to be shown. This has been brought up before, so I have marked
this as a duplicate.
The two bugs for missing size and version info were fixed in bug
#1564621 and bug #1571414
The two remaining issues are:
Bug #1551599 - Remove button missing after package installation
Bug #1574057 - Can not abort installation
** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1553211
Ubuntu should provide a default graphical method to install technical
packages (plugins, kernels, terminal apps)

Title:
[16.04] New Ubuntu Software (Center) - Non-functional core features
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release: 16.04
ubuntu-software:
Installiert: 3.20.1+git20160420.1.ca63436.ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu2
Installationskandidat: 3.20.1+git20160420.1.ca63436.ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu2

100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
What is supposed to happen:
The new Ubuntu Software (Center) is supposed to show me all software that is
part of the used repositories, all packages that can also be found using
"apt-cache dump". It is supposed to show me the version number of the package
and the size. It is supposed to letting me abort a download or installation
(for example if the download takes to long). It is supposed to show me that the
software is installed after an installation is finished.
What is happening:
The new Ubuntu Software (Center) cannot find certain software (e.g. Wine or
Steam). It is, however, possible to install such software using the terminal.
Version number and size are not shown (it seems that it endlessly tries to
calculate the size, the version field remains just blank). It is not possible
to abort an installation. If an installation is finished, sometimes the status
"installed" is not shown until the computer is rebooted. This seems to happen
randomly (it happened for me with packages for the programs Geany, GHex and
some others).
