Are you seriously suggesting that the user has to always use keyboard
and then launch apps to make use of the shell better ?

The shell design is more keyboard friendly.. and thought seems to be
going only with making keyboard use better. 
Which is good . 

But saying that the user needs to use the keyboard to do an action
quicker is not very ideal.

Both the keyboard-only and mouse-only users have to be able to do the
same action in the easiest/quickest possible way. And forcing either
user to change their behavior because the keyboard/mouse offers a
quicker alternative isnt very ideal.

IMO , categories were much more easier than scrolling through the whole
list of apps.

Also , we need to find an easier way to trigger the Alt+Tab behavior
with a mouse , it is more essential now as we have removed the taskbar. 
And Zooming out for a simple app switch [within the same desktop] feels
a highly distracting .
Maybe from right-clicking application menu? [the menu that is to be
displayed from the app name]
