Are you seriously suggesting that the user has to always use keyboard and then launch apps to make use of the shell better ? The shell design is more keyboard friendly.. and thought seems to be going only with making keyboard use better. Which is good . But saying that the user needs to use the keyboard to do an action quicker is not very ideal. Both the keyboard-only and mouse-only users have to be able to do the same action in the easiest/quickest possible way. And forcing either user to change their behavior because the keyboard/mouse offers a quicker alternative isnt very ideal. IMO , categories were much more easier than scrolling through the whole list of apps. Also , we need to find an easier way to trigger the Alt+Tab behavior with a mouse , it is more essential now as we have removed the taskbar. And Zooming out for a simple app switch [within the same desktop] feels a highly distracting . Maybe from right-clicking application menu?
