Time to retire the Applications page?

[Andreas Nilsson <lists andreasn se>]

I recently took some time to make the GNOME website look good on HiDPI 
monitors bug [1] branch [2]
One of the pages on the main website I didn't fix yet though was the 
Applications page [3], and I'm not sure certain it's worth the effort.
When the Application page was first created, I had this idea of 
showcasing a good selection of GNOME apps and that these would be 
rotated on a somewhat regular schedule. The rotating didn't happen and 
I'm not sure the current selection are the best showcases for our 
platform. Some of the apps are still stuck on GTK2 (both GIMP and 
Inkscape are unfortunately currently unusable on the same hidpi screen 
that I wanted the website to work on due to that reason).

At the same time, GNOME Software now allows us to highlight the best 
free software out there _and_ allow people to actually easy install them!

Several people have suggested just retiring the Applications page in 
it's current form, and possibly try to highlight the new core 
applications elsewhere on the website.

Unless anyone have good arguments for keeping it, I'll take the page 
down before the end of the week.
Thanks!
