IMHO it is a bad one. Canonical wants to unify Touch and desktop apps / appearance, it's fine, but please do not forget that on a computer we have the mouse (with several buttons) and let us use it with all functionalities ! Moreover, even since 13.04 where Dash is much faster, on some computers the app description is very long to open, so we are loosing time at each program startup.
