Right, but those people are 'leet and might even like the query-based
editor more.

They have the same function, the query editor is just a standalone app
and exposes that a menu virtually includes "Accessories" instead of
listing each accessory explicitly. And you can do things like "add all
Graphics apps to this submenu."

If we had infinite time I guess I'd have the query editor, and a
Favorites menu. But we don't have time for either, so this is mostly
just a tangent. The Nautilus thing probably works fine.
