What is the grid for? If it is supposed to be used to browse for applications, its a bad idea. Consider browsing for books. When you don't know the title of a book, and you're looking for a good book to read, you would very much prefer categorical sorting. Alphabetical sorting isn't right for browsing. 

Just to clarify, the application menu is for browsing applications, right?

I am not saying which is better, but other than "it's different" why is "an alphabetically sorted grid" worse?

Can someone explain to me why an alphabetically sorted grid is in any way a better way to browse applications? Change is only good when it improves, not makes worse.

Well maybe there should be something more like two ways of sorting and two ways of listing:
Sorting; Groups and Flat
Listing; Grid and List

Three of these options have already been in the codebase at one point. The third, Groups with Grid view, could easily be implemented. The job is already done.
