One point though - *don't* drop application categories. No matter than
sometimes applications gets categorized strangely it still much better
than one complete bowl with all apps thrown in it. This should be kept
and improved.

And yes, Meta key plus first two or three letters of applications in
overview mode is a *killer* feature of GNOME 3 and should be treated
as such, with tips for new users how to use it. And contrary, no,
mouse is much slower than keyboard anytime, no matter you look at it.
