But I will try to voice my concern over the APPLICATION menu(or whatever it is). With the current build, the icon-based APPLICATION is pretty useless to me. Unless you are familiar with the image/icon (of your app) and can memorize the "keyword" of what application (using search) it becomes more difficult to find the app especially when you have tons of applications buried inside.

If I'm about to start a new task, I open another workspace. (Note, if you drag an application icon to the add workspace button in the Activities Overview that application will open on a new workspace.) It's true that workspaces can't be rearranged (that would be sweet), but shuffling applications from one workspace to another isn't that hard or time consuming if you really care about their order.
