It's great to be able to launch an application by typing the name (and keyboard integration is generally very good in gnome-shell) but good luck if you don't know the name. Maybe indexing on categories would be useful for type-searching. But for those who don't want to type, finding a program by looking at a grid of little square pictures is pretty useless.

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.
