It's great to be able to launch an application by typing the name (and keyboard integration is generally very good in gnome-shell) but good luck if you don't know the name. Maybe indexing on categories would be useful for type-searching. But for those who don't want to type, finding a program by looking at a grid of little square pictures is pretty useless.
