Because sometimes, in some cases, when it comes to my computer for example i have so many apps in the doc that it quickly becomes just as unpractical as you claim the launchpad to be. If, for example you have apps starting with the same letter, you *can't* just press that letter repeatedly, you'll have to actually press the two, three, four, five and so on first letters in the app quickly in order to quickly get to the app. I welcome all new features and possibilities, and if they can make my life easier, fine, if not, fine. /Krister
