I remember as an early gnome-shell tester (2.29 series) I got confused
by that: why having 2 different ways to start applications?  I found it
inconsistent at that moment.  I expected both entries (alt-f2 and
overview search box) to behave similarly, while they behaved very
differently.  I still think that alt-f2 should be a quick way to get to
that search box without having to summon the whole overview.  That being
said, I couldn't build gnome-shell lately, but I'm very excited by what
it becomes and can't wait to use it on a daily basis!
